Lens of Impact: Artists in the Archive

A discussion on artistic research and working with primary source material alongside personal narrative and socio-political issues. 

 

Mev Luna and Ohan Breiding will discuss recent projects emerging from their work in archives and unpacking the visual, material, and historical resonances from these sources. 

 

Luna’s Confined Terrain is an experimental autoethnographic documentary that examines the Texas prison system’s complex relationship with Mexican labor and the US agricultural industry through the lens of one individual: the artist’s late father. Weaving together oral history, dashcam footage, and archival materials from the Texas Department of Corrections with 3D simulations, medical imaging, and ASMR slime, the film attempts to both visualize and reckon with the enigmatic phenomenon of intergenerational trauma and incarceration’s impact on multiple generations.  

 

Breiding’s Belly of a Glacier is an experimental film and photographic installation that braids an ancient ice archive with a community-initiated project that insulates the Rhône Glacier from rising temperatures with a queer, speculative glacier funeral. In 2019, Iceland constructed the first memorial to mark the death of its Okjökul glacier. Since then, funerals have been held around the world to mark the melting of glacier bodies. These ritualized practices of collective grief perform the intimate entanglement of human and environmental well-being, and amplify the current state of climate emergency. 


Together, they will share clips from their respective projects and reflect on their processes.
