Abstract
Liquid Land is an art thesis project informed by decolonization and Andean Phenomenology. Working from an Ecuadorian perspective, this art project proposes alternate ways of perceiving nature as an attempt to decolonize our gaze towards the more than human world as well as move our attention to nature’s subjectivity. Liquid Land proposes a slow process of learning to decenter and deconstruct the privileged hierarchy that positions the human over the more-than-human. Land, plants, and trees do not answer to the social hierarchies of power that make an imaginary land division into Nation-states and property, even though the asymmetrical matrix of power that splits land is imaginary. The exclusion and oppression are real for the people on the other side of the benefit line. |
