In this exploratory cinema work, Caroline Daish and Miki Ambrózy are sharing the encounter of each others’ practices. The ‘oracle practice’ of Caroline meets Miki’s ‘remote sensing’. Remote sensing is typically used for the technologies of image capture from a distance, using satellites and drones. Here, however, with the oracle’s specific approach to connection and ongoingness, we use remote sensing to relate processes. Filmed images, the memory of writing, and vocal work are exchanged between the two participating artists and others around them.
As we are developing seeds of degrowth, we are using a mode of working that we call experimental ecopoetics. In this mode, the creation of a film is considered to be a symbiotic act with the events around it. It’s a film that searches a symbiotic form with soil, landscape, the microscopic, and the haphazard.
How could a degrowth process be activated through the oracle practice’s accumulated experience? What happens to camera images when we disperse them in a constellation of events? How does the temporality of poetry, in its encounter with the vocal-spatial-durational strategies of the oracle practice affect a screen-work?
