BECOMING EXTINCT (WILD GRASS)

2017 / 16mm / color / sound / 1S / 23' 23

The two concepts of extinction and becoming are difficult to think of together, both are more than just metaphors and neither of them offers an easy way out. Extinction emphasizes the extraordinary level of disturbance and precarity that we have imposed on our and other species. Becoming signifies taking up the struggle of a collective survival together with the nonhuman. We might begin by perceiving the world not as "our" — our climate, our survival, our films and our images.
