These Relations Are Forever

In this four-channel video installation, Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDC’s) – and their increasingly frequent and lasting presence within our bodies and lives, via food, soil, and water – are the thematic thread
through the scientific practices of four women researchers. The work brings together agricultural policy, toxicology, water quality research, environmental law, and art around the common theme of chemical pollution. Four women researchers from the EU Joint Research Centre and Strathclyde University personally developed and performed the ceremony representing their research. In these rituals, methods from dominant scientific practice are woven with spoken text, movement
and symbolic locations and objects, becoming new tools for knowledge production.

A collaboration with Caterina Cacciatori (JRC, Ispra), Sandra Coecke (JRC, Ispra), Irene Guerrero Fernandez (JRC, Ispra), Saskia Vermeylen (Strathclyde University).

This project funded by the European Commission Joint Research Centre as part of the SciArt Resonances IV program.
