This made me have so many tangential thoughts and feelings. I also wanted to mention a book that I haven't read, but have heard a lot about via my gf who read it over the course of a year, that feels adjacent to some of the themes I felt in this writing. It may or may not resonate. Islands of Abandonment by Cal Flyn. Thank you as always.
Thanks for this work. So deeply felt and conveyed and about the specificities of place and the multitudes of cultural and natural ripples moving forward and back in our wake as we move through and over time and place.
I love this story of time travel & bodily (queer) investigation of place.
It reminded me of Natasha Myers and her project, Becoming Sensor, where she uses dance to become a kind of sensor in a similarly compromised and history-layered park in Toronto. Another kind of queering.
This was lovely. Thank you! I think you might like this https://naive-yearly.are.na/benjamin-earl
Thank you, and you’re right, loved that. I really want to make something for/at/about/within this place and Ben’s piece is so inspiring.
