METABOLISM (2023)
Fri 17 Oct, 18:45 - 20:15
Trocadero Projects, Footscray
Enjoy an experiential gallery screening of ‘METABOLISM’, a cinematic poem by artist and filmmaker Eugenia Lim that lays out a web of relationships, connections, and interdependencies with the natural and constructed ecologies around the Western Treatment Plant and Wirribi-yaluk (Werribee river). For the Wadawurrung, Wirribi-yaluk is the ‘spine’ of Country, a waterway that has perpetuated life since time immemorial.
A portrait of a living, working ecology and the multispecies it sustains, this meditative experimental documentary studies how the body is land and land is body, and invites you to see Melbourne’s West through new eyes.
Screening includes a selection of shorts and an artist talk with Lim.
All proceeds from this screening will be donated to the APHEDA Gaza Appeal.
