In 1999 Playas was reborn as anti-terror training center. Drawn from research into the militarized American landscape, Uneven Earth, reflects on simulacrum as a means to imagine into different locations, politics, and cultures. Working closely with the Mason family, formerly from Playas, I built a scale model of their street, and imbedded it within a former military site in Norfolk, UK. <img width="1674" height="940" width_o="1674" height_o="940" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5b31f007a47e0e55344807ac05e7055da25e6d224cf3cb7135f974b7a41684fa/Screenshot-2023-01-13-at-12.25.02.png" data-mid="164603779" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5b31f007a47e0e55344807ac05e7055da25e6d224cf3cb7135f974b7a41684fa/Screenshot-2023-01-13-at-12.25.02.png" /> <img width="1671" height="934" width_o="1671" height_o="934" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fe1d80c0bc489a3d301728391e77bad1c4d3434b5a5a635af8028c0ee7e699d0/Screenshot-2023-01-13-at-12.27.05.png" data-mid="164603783" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fe1d80c0bc489a3d301728391e77bad1c4d3434b5a5a635af8028c0ee7e699d0/Screenshot-2023-01-13-at-12.27.05.png" /> <img width="1665" height="938" width_o="1665" height_o="938" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c0f781727ec5803e7d080dfcfc0a47a2f0e8a03a7ce960935d4f25f8618bb0a6/Screenshot-2023-01-13-at-12.26.14.png" data-mid="164603780" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c0f781727ec5803e7d080dfcfc0a47a2f0e8a03a7ce960935d4f25f8618bb0a6/Screenshot-2023-01-13-at-12.26.14.png" /> <img width="1673" height="941" width_o="1673" height_o="941" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e2e664a4eb6938f0042685d4f0ea1e36742be58334de8f290c1abc9157a8e459/Screenshot-2023-01-13-at-12.26.40.png" data-mid="164603781" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e2e664a4eb6938f0042685d4f0ea1e36742be58334de8f290c1abc9157a8e459/Screenshot-2023-01-13-at-12.26.40.png" /> <img width="2174" height="1216" width_o="2174" height_o="1216" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6ab47ece9af28648d814cbc7216d8f121714a3ce2b4c794d5bb66c53541f55c7/Screen-Shot-2021-05-17-at-2.22.35-PM.png" data-mid="164603777" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6ab47ece9af28648d814cbc7216d8f121714a3ce2b4c794d5bb66c53541f55c7/Screen-Shot-2021-05-17-at-2.22.35-PM.png" /> https://elektrarthomson.com/Uneven-Earth-2-0 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 14:12:25 +0000 Elektra Thomson https://elektrarthomson.com/Uneven-Earth-2-0 /* Tooltip container */ .tooltip { position: relative; display: inline; } /* Tooltip text */ .tooltip .tooltiptext { visibility: hidden; width:120px; font-size;10px background-color: white; color: black; text-align: left; padding:1px; border-radius: 1px; } /* Show the tooltip text when you mouse over the tooltip container */ .tooltip:hover .tooltiptext { visibility: visible; } Uneven Earth 2.0 Uneven Earth 2.0 is a continuation of Uneven Earth, comprised of three elements; a screenplay, a film, and an installation. The script is a semi-fictionalized narrative imbued with true anecdotes of the Mason family. Anthony Mason works in the Hidalgo Copper smelter and his wife Donna is a nurse at the local clinic. Their lives exist in tandem with their idyllic community, but as the story evolves the environmental and economic effects of copper smelting take their toll. People get sick and job insecurity hovers, culminating in the final mass eviction from their homes. Reappropriating the model of Playas, the installation imagines the site through a fantastical lens - imbedding the houses in copper slag, a nod to the material that so defined the lives of the Mason family. <img width="4898" height="3265" width_o="4898" height_o="3265" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5a30399e4808947b286aa3635fb2b079e72e13223282303bca3759d49d32d680/uneven4.jpg" data-mid="165013664" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5a30399e4808947b286aa3635fb2b079e72e13223282303bca3759d49d32d680/uneven4.jpg" /> <img width="4898" height="3265" width_o="4898" height_o="3265" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2a18822cf7aba36e8e335ce5c7ced4eeb0e647e426d87339f4eabe7bf0eff8c3/uneven3.jpg" data-mid="165013663" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2a18822cf7aba36e8e335ce5c7ced4eeb0e647e426d87339f4eabe7bf0eff8c3/uneven3.jpg" /> <img width="4898" height="3265" width_o="4898" height_o="3265" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/00f5350f54dece9af32d2b368ee6a54ede09b03b737133b151303a52111b02c3/uneven5.jpg" data-mid="165013830" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/00f5350f54dece9af32d2b368ee6a54ede09b03b737133b151303a52111b02c3/uneven5.jpg" /> <img width="4898" height="3265" width_o="4898" height_o="3265" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8af709325d1d412a345a232164f79e5ab772ddd252f91f7cae83f307cc59b1bd/uneven6.jpg" data-mid="165013831" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8af709325d1d412a345a232164f79e5ab772ddd252f91f7cae83f307cc59b1bd/uneven6.jpg" /> <img width="2552" height="1412" width_o="2552" height_o="1412" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8421975c17093a61e8431b68ec98e5f1f0dadca371143ccb37675062fbf5db65/uneven7.jpg" data-mid="165013980" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8421975c17093a61e8431b68ec98e5f1f0dadca371143ccb37675062fbf5db65/uneven7.jpg" /> <img width="2508" height="1394" width_o="2508" height_o="1394" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7a22939b069684b520bcf03ab37df59583d9eda1568e97be00276e746a2e8403/uneven8.jpg" data-mid="165013981" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7a22939b069684b520bcf03ab37df59583d9eda1568e97be00276e746a2e8403/uneven8.jpg" /> https://elektrarthomson.com/Speculating-Glass Sat, 14 Jan 2023 10:33:58 +0000 Elektra Thomson https://elektrarthomson.com/Speculating-Glass /* Tooltip container */ .tooltip { position: relative; display: inline; } /* Tooltip text */ .tooltip .tooltiptext { visibility: hidden; width:120px; font-size;6px background-color: white; color: black; text-align: left; padding:1px; border-radius: 1px; } /* Show the tooltip text when you mouse over the tooltip container */ .tooltip:hover .tooltiptext { visibility: visible; } Speculating Glass https://elektrarthomson.com/Performing-Power Sat, 14 Jan 2023 11:30:30 +0000 Elektra Thomson https://elektrarthomson.com/Performing-Power /* Tooltip container */ .tooltip { position: relative; display: inline; } /* Tooltip text */ .tooltip .tooltiptext { visibility: hidden; width:120px; font-size;6px background-color: white; color: black; text-align: left; padding:1px; border-radius: 1px; } /* Show the tooltip text when you mouse over the tooltip container */ .tooltip:hover .tooltiptext { visibility: visible; } Performing Power Performing Power is an investigation to the politics of labour, and the body as site through which these politics are experienced.
