Since 2016, the Berlin-based Scottish artist has been developing a corpus of multi-disciplinary works exploring speculative futures and post-humanism. At a time when AI and the ecological crisis are causing havoc, she has created the performative installation ARK 1 – the name of her spaceship – where video, soundscape and text resonate with one another. Leah Marojević’s body interacts with a science fiction narrative, while the “live” dimension bears witness to the survival of a human presence despite degraded ecosystems and the Earth’s exhausted resources – unless all that is already just a distant memory… After Learning from the Future, which deconstructed the very substance of a quasi-roboticised body, The Making of Doubt, I not I, and the show for young audiences Strange Garden – all titles that represent her favourite themes –, Colette Sadler digs deeper into her unique style with the solo ARK 1. Invited by the Festival de Marseille to prepare a new project titled The Violet Hour, she will reveal a work-in-progress sequence from it, again accompanied by the dancer and performer Leah Marojević and the hypnotic presence of Marseille-based sound designer Samir Kennedy.
