It’s Already Happened, We’re Just in the Past imagines a thick present where bodies are suspended together in a prolonged jolt. In this unstable moment of crisis, time and physics become liquid, speculative, vulnerable materials: a boulder hurtles through time, we grow an exoskeleton, a building sheds its skin.
Working in collaboration, artists and time-travelers, Emily Parsons-Lord and Shan Turner-Carroll, draw from the temporal logics of cinema, geology and science fiction to create an installation that unfolds across three days in the Carriageworks foyer. It’s Already Happened, We’re Just in the Past will be activated by live performances and live sound score by Evelyn Ida Morris at select times throughout the festival.
This work asks ‘in this moment of collapse, how do we fall safely, together?’ This new work lingers in this suspended jolt, when wordlessness and disorientation unyoke the boundaries between fiction and reality, so that time-travel, shape shifting, and portal crossing are possible.
