With Love. From An Invader: An Exploration of Landscape and Identity

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution › peer-review

Abstract

With Love. From An Invader. is a multi-screen audio-visual installation created
during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020-2021 documenting the landscape and
soundscape around Sheddon Clough in the north of England using the invasive rhododendron ponticum as a symbol not only of the pervasiveness of COVID-19 but also as a means of exploring the political and xenophobic backlash surrounding it. The work explores notions of invasiveness, identity, landscape and recombinant
ecologies. The installation deconstructs documentary methods in photography
and sound recording to present a novel recombinant experience of place (Iosofat
2009) integrating disparate theories of place, landscape and habitat (Mabey 1973,
Maris 2011, and Rotherham 2017).
