The lockdown has been extended and unfortunately that means there won’t be anymore live shows of Sophie Trudeau and myself in the framework of the exhibtion „Les AnnĂ©es Musicales“ at VOX, centre de l’image contemporaine. Instead you can still stream a recording until the end of October on vimeo. Enjoy!

is part of overview effect. at the Museum of Contemproary Art in Belgrade, October 2nd, 2020 – September 20th, 2021
project and curatorial direction: Blanca de la Torre and Zoran Erić
The term Overview Effect was coined by Frank White in 1987 to describe the cognitive shift reported by a number of astronauts on having looked back from Space at their home planet Earth. The question is, do we need such a distant point of view of the planet we occupy, as a “crew of the Spaceship Earth” to use Buckminster Fuller’s metaphor, to realize that this “spaceship” is slowly running out of “fuel” and that the crew is in need of “oxygen”?
This project seeks to address the issue of the environmental justice that can only be approached through an analysis of the inseparable links between climate change and other forms of injustice related to gender, race, corporate imperialism, indigenous sovereignty, and the importance of decolonising and de-anthropocentrizing the planet in order to reshape an inclusive mindset akin to a multispecies world.
