Dawn Roe: DESCENT 鈮� An Atlas of Relation
鈥淐onnecting the unimaginable span of deep time embedded within the lives of fish and their watery homes to varied understandings of descent鈥攁s passage, downward movement, decline, sinking, legacy, lineage, origination鈥擨 visualize our human-made worlds as a continuum, suggesting both the promise and peril of ecological longevity.鈥� 鈥� Dawn Roe
Dawn Roe uses photographic methods as observational tools, responding to sites and situations where human and more-than-human lives entangle, often drawing on grief and despair as generative modes of being. Combining a documentary approach with direct intervention, Roe鈥檚 process incorporates multiple reproductive methods including analog and digital imaging, film, and video.
Her most recent project, the indefinitely ongoing series, DESCENT 鈮� An Atlas of Relation, looks to the fish 鈥� who have occupied our planet for millions of years in a constant struggle for survival 鈥� as a means of thinking through how human and more-than-human beings find ways to live alongside one another within the midst of a globally shifting climate.
