Zerzura

How do we perceive 'nature'? Is it a 'thing' to which we humans are external? Or are we all part of a mesh where there is no centre nor periphery? Can an assemblage of sounds and images invite us to see 'nature' as living, sentient and endowed with agentivity? Following 'Resistance' (2017) and 'Osmosis' (2022), 'Zerzura' closes the trilogy 'Corpus Animale'.

 

Laurence Favre

Laurence Favre is an artist, filmmaker and researcher working with still and moving images – mostly analog – sounds and writings. Her research based work takes the shape of experimental films, installations and film performances, looking for ways of triggering epistemic shifts through sensory perception. She creates poetic sound-and-image-driven spaces where temporalities are blurred, and conceptual binary opposition (presence/absence, visibility/invisibility, memory/oblivion, still/moving, real/fictional) are diverted.  Focusing on notions such as de-centering and un-othering, she develops the concepts of Expanded Spectropoetics and the Anarchive, in the field of decolonial ecology.
