In the era of human-provoked climate crisis, the videopoem “Suspended Particles” explores the potential of fluid states of the things around us as a way to challenge a human-centric perception of the world.
Working translocally, a collaboration between Span-based videopoet Claire Rosslyn Wilson and Australian sound artist Ross McLennan, the project asks, how might we co-habit with the non-human elements in our city? Using videpoetry techniques—such as layering, subtext, and juxtaposition—to explore the particles in the air we breathe. The project is intended to emphasise the interconnected exchanges in natural processes that cross city borders and impact residents across national lines.
