Description
A.K. Burns' Negative Space is a multimedia project that explores the relationships between humanity and nature in an epic allegory. Spanning 10 years, this nonlinear work grapples with climate change, community, and sociopolitical agency through science fiction, material feminism, eco-anarchism, queer theory, and technoscience. Developed as a cycle of four video installations, Negative Space imagines new relationships to the spaces we occupy and the impact of our bodies in these spaces. Set in a speculative present, the tetralogy envisions a new materialist cosmology wherein hierarchical relations are transformed. Through imagery, research, and critical writings, A.K. Burns probes questions about marginalized bodies, environmental fragility, and technology, inviting readers to consider alternative perspectives on our place within the world.
