Mapping resilient marine ecologies

Julie Patarin-Jossec

Most of my projects that use underwater film, experimental photography, sound design, drawing, and video performance constitute a long-term and multi-situated process of mapping sites, events, and experiences of nonhuman agency against the “slow violence” (R. Nixon) of environmental degradation in marine ecosystems. Made out of ubiquitous embodied water (A. Neimanis) and multispecies alloy, this mapping aims to grow an ethics of care and preservation through aesthetics (W. Lee) for an appreciation of nonhuman beings beyond the Western scopes of their commodification and instrumentalization and for a conception of marine ecology that is neither measurable, reproducible, nor profitable.
