A NOTION OF THE EVER-LASTING (Magdeburg, October 2022)

A notion of the ever-lasting is a multi-channel video installation created in collaboration with Barbara Acevedo Strange.

Different deserts - each one representing a singular geographical and philosophical perspective - engage in a pluri-vocal narration about the vorticity of their ghosts. They notice that what they so far deemed as eternal matter, eventually decays. Within the stories, human activities can be traced as incidental appearances through multiple temporalities.
A notion of the ever-lasting aims to get a grip on some of the processes involved in what we perceive as climate emergency through storytelling and the close observation of movements at different time scales. These stories are voiced by different deserts, each one representing a singular geographical and philosophical perspective.
A notion of the ever-lasting was created during the OASIS 2027 residency in Mallorca and the Bledow desert in Poland. The exhibition of this work was accompanied by a performance The Nomadic at the Festival of the Future Deserts in Magdeburg in October 2022.
