Hugo Moline & Heidi Axelsen: The Dance Of The Remediators
It began as a vague sense of unease, unconnected to anything in particular. Ordinary objects of the built environment began to take on a threatening demeanour, looming over the bright and baking streets.
Then, one day, the children disappeared. An entire city of empty beds. Each child had left a note: 鈥榞one underground 鈥� stay safe鈥�. Their bedsheets were gone too鈥�
The Dance of the Remediators is an archive of a possible future; a materialised dream sequence of people being called into action by coal鈥檚 humble living relatives.
A base-camp is constructed for a revolution of intimacy, patience and vunerability. An expedition is planned to uncover dark-hard-coal鈥檚 ancestral softness. By recalling coal鈥檚 long photosynthetic memory, can we salvage the future?
Here, at the edge of climate calamity, the domestic-left-over, the soft-and-slow, the fragile and care-full are made mighty. This work prototypes earnest and absurd devices, gentle megastructures and everyday actions, for remaking the world through care, play, wonder and hope.
