Set against a complicated urban, cultural, and socioeconomic landscape where boundaries between labour and consumption are getting blurred, where defiance and compliance are increasingly entangled, and where progressive voices are caught into an endless spiral of resistance and récupération, the work speaks to the uncomfortable oscillations between powerlessness, conformity and ennui in the face of the entrenched system of power, and simultaneous struggle against it.
Drawing from the rich history of walking as an art practice and building upon feminist engagement and critique of psychogeography, the work seeks to extend the concept of dérive into the posthumanist territory to explore the conditions and opportunities for emancipation beyond the current human condition.
