Collective Voices and Ecologies is a two-day event organised together with members of the Crown Letter collective founded by Natacha Nisic, featuring open panel discussions and screenings of selected works from participating artists, in dialogue with Aurelia Mihai’s exhibition Monuments In Time. The conversations will address the importance of collective practices and their responses to the evolving notion of public space in a post-pandemic world. Central to the discussion are the contributions that art, particularly the work of women artists, can make in shaping our cities and the landscapes beyond, as well as understanding the fragile equilibrium of systems we are part of.
f, like Fukushima (2013)
Two years after the disaster, Natacha Nisic travels to Fukushima and looks at the landscape, villages and people who have suffered the ravages of the tsunami and the radiation from the power station. Thanks to a device consisting of a 25-metre tracking shot and 30-centimetre wide vertical mirrors arranged at different intervals, the artist allows the viewer to see the field and the reverse field, the before and after, at the same time. When the camera passes in front of a mirror, a moving image of the counter-field moves in a horizontal travelling shot in the opposite direction across the width of the mirror. It constitutes, without trickery, the play of one image in another, of one movement in another, of a landscape and its opposite.
