Infinite (2020)
video, 01:42 min
Jellyfish are species that, no matter how the elementary rules of life work, manage to reverse their ageing and life cycle. They, despite all historical events and environmental disasters, live and thrive together. They don’t have a brain or eyes. Referring to the introduction by Jack Halberstam to The Undercommons, I see them as a metaphor to abandoning the historically given ways of thinking and seeing, to refusing the given system and finding alternative paths in what surrounds us already. Could discovering jellyfish be the answer to, or inspiration for, the ‘call for wildness’, wilder ways of being together, understanding and approaching things, wilder ways of organising?
This film was made as a response to a prompt by the Into the Wild 2020 programme
