EN RESIDENCE: Institute for Postnatural Studios
October 30, 2020
”With the taste of a Poison Paradise” is a short film made by Tornasol Studio, Teresa F. Pello and Lejos lejos during a week of residence with the Institute of Postnatural Studies in the Domaine de Boisbuchet
The ongoing project aims to visualize the impact of wastewater discharges into rivers, lakes and oceans around the world. Our psychoactive and psychotropic chemicals end up modifying entire ecosystems of these water bodies. Even we ourselves may be closing a cycle by making use of these waters, one that is hidden from our ordinary perception.
”With a taste of a Poison Paradise” explores new possibilities of storytelling, using materiality and digital technology as a narrative element.
The Institute of Postnatural Studies is a centre for artistic experimentation from which to explore and problematize the postnatural as a framework for contemporary creation. Founded in 2020, the Institute is a platform for critical thinking, a network that brings together artists and researchers concerned about the issues of the global ecological crisis through experimental formats, sharing and producing open knowledge.
We look forward to expanding our explorations together very soon. Keep your antenna up!
