One recurrent theme of the evening was solastalgia: Glenn Albrecht’s term which evokes the homesick feeling of losing one’s home without leaving it; the sense of the land you knew as a child altering irrevocably around you.
To celebrate the launch of our first collective project, But There Is No Land Near The End, A+E curated a diverse programme of film and performance.
The programme included geological tremors of the uncanny, featuring Sissel Thastum’s film No you without Mountains, without Sun, without Sky, MSL and Jaakko Pallasvuo’s bittersweet time-travelling black comedy Bridge Over Troubled Water, Marc Johansen’s 3D animated film exploring his childhood suburbs through reconstructed virtual environments in Life More Abundant, ‘98, Sarah McWhinney’s murky cello looping and accompanying animations, and Maria Sledmere’s Litanies for Eco-Dissonance.
