Organised by Dr. Sharon Young, artist, writer and academic in relation to the Bigger Book Fair and the publication Mutterings, from a collection of writings and artists’ work, which I am a part of.
The book contains work, The Lost Exploitation Journals, with my photo etchings and a creative writing piece on Extractivism. For Peckham 24 I reworked the images and others from my video piece, Rose tinted, into a small zine publication, and wrote a performative piece. This is to be performed alongside a work of prose that I recorded, so that the two voices echo, repeat and interrupt each other across the space.
In addition, I had a small scale version of Vestiges of the Unearthed projected onto two photo etchings of the Altiplano of the Andes using pink stone pigment collected in situ, and two of the Mine Me photo etchings of my hands holding the raw rock pigments.
Vestiges of the Unearthed, a performance reading, sound recording, voice, photo etchings and video projection
The zines are an edition of 25, using rock paper, laser copies, and written text
