Wonderful photos!

Gorgeous!

#DeathAndResurrection is the journey of the Hyperdimensional #TechnoWitch through planes of existence.

-- SHIFT TO STATIC --

A descent into the plane of transformation. The TechnoWitch undergoes a journey through dismemberment, a flattening. The nuanced waves broadening, masking; a fat sound.

Performance video depicts the ongoing demolition of the #BogwangDong area in #Seoul, a previously bustling area known for its #diversity. The area lies between the mosque to the northwest and the church to the southeast.

Happy New Year 2026. I took this photo just after midnight on 1st January. I’ve always been drawn to silhouettes of leaves and wild growth. These leaves cast beautiful shadows on illuminated concrete at night, bringing the wild into the city and showing that darkness sometimes allows us to also see the light.

Processing what I experienced on my field trip to the #jeollanamdo #haenam development #Solaseado - I’ve been drawn to return to sketching while listening to my encounters with the #landscape - here is the first… something struck me about the #heat and #dry #earth on the plains around the industrial development site. The earth was terracotta coloured, the desiccated clay of a fertile soil

For my current research I am looking into the waters and waterscapes of the region around #Solaseado in Haenam, South #Korea, where it is proposed that the largest #AI data centre in #Asia will be built. I’ve been exploring, making #interviews and #fieldrecordings, asking locals about their relationship to #water and their thoughts on the upcoming #development.

At present, the region usually has enough water. Much of the land used to be sea or mountains but has been levelled and built into farmland, which happened around 60 years ago. I was told that the sea became the rice fields and the mountains became fields for other crops. Through dams and irrigation, the land is fertile and famous for its agriculture and food traditions, though some of the water is brackish rather than entirely freshwater.

We visited also - or tried to visit - the giant solar farm that should provide the power for the data centre. Though designed as a park, along the lines of a Louis XIV garden with a central sculpture, it is prohibited to enter. We drove up and immediately cars appeared across the deserted landscape and they drove to block our way at the open gates, telling us it was too dangerous to enter.

Elsewhere I tried to track the history of sacred water in the region. We found a sacred well, with turbid water and hemmed in by new road infrastructure. It looked like a forgotten relict.

Through the interviews, it became clear that there were divided and informed opinions of the regional developments, and a mostly pragmatic, utilitarian relationship to water as opposed to waterways being a place for either recreation or reflection. The one exception was at the shore by the large dam between the sea and the freshwater, frequented by fishermen and where we were told that foreign workers from the port go to relax.

This summer I premiered a new performance at Love Tomorrow, at the Tomorrowlands Festival. The full documentation is online here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XnfIzBZ_GeQ
