Char Jeré and Meaghan Elyse Lueck
WE, THE THEY
Video and Participatory Installation
This collaborative piece is composed of music-making cards and a gathering of home video footage. The artists were inspired by Mekas’ early work, Walden (1969), with its themes of finding home and nature as someone who has been displaced. Playing off his ability to lift the unseen into the seen – they explore the unseen, unveiling unexpected edges of how we are all interconnected: now more than ever, Donna Haraway’s notion of “becoming with the other” feels crucial if we are going to survive this planetary crisis together.
