artistiek onderzoek - design - ecologie - video

Anastasia Eggers' research-driven practice explores vulnerable ecologies alongside urgent social, cultural, and political conditions. It uses food as a medium to broach ideas of identity, origin, and geopolitics. Eggers investigates agricultural rhythms that arise when our dependence on seasonal cycles is severed or when new dynamics surface due to geopolitical shifts or changes in market conditions. Her recent works explore rituals in agriculture as a tool to bring hidden narratives to light and to envision new forms of collectivity, coping, and awareness.

    • Brexit Herring traces shifting dynamics in herring fishing following the UK's departure from the EU. It focuses on the changes within a fishing community on the east coast of England, who, along with many others, were promised a “sea of ​​opportunity” by the Fishing for Leave campaign, replete with hundreds of thousands of tons of fish. Instead, with access to only a fraction of those stocks and few future prospects, they have been left alone to navigate this new sea of ​​opportunity.

    Migrating Seasons @ DE GLAZEN STAD, groepstentoonstelling

    Tentoonstelling / presentatie

    • 27-05-2023 t/m 20-08-2023
    • Locatie: RADIUS Centrum voor Hedendaagse Kunst en Ecologie, Delft
    • Migrating Seasons is an attempt to redraw the farmers' almanac according to the contemporary post-seasonal world, where the growing, harvesting, and consuming of food is no longer dependent on natural factors. The post-seasonal almanac looks at agricultural practices and their interdependence with phenomena such as the trans-European movement of workers and goods, international politics, labor rights, and energy supply.
