water knows no boundaries
(2022 – ongoing)
A hydrofeminist research and work-in-progress on water as a connecting element that ties us to the world around us.
water = life / life = water
"How can we reimagine water? How can we move away from water-in-the-abstract and water-as-a-resource notions — towards imagining the entanglement of humans and water, that constitutes both parties, and gives rise to every possibility that is otherwise latent in both water and ourselves? That would mean a profound change in the approach: a shift from objectification of water to thinking with it, and learning from it. That would ultimately mean to reimagine and accept ourselves as the specific kinds of bodies, comprised, transformed and dissolved by different waters; to become the bodies of water.
As the bodies of water we leak and seethe, our borders always vulnerable to rupture and renegotiations – for us humans, the flow and flush of waters sustain our own bodies, but also connect them to other bodies, to other worlds beyond our human selves" (Neimanis, 2017:4)
