Hacking through Visual Exposure

This section will focus less on specific movies or directors and more on how the workings and typical representations of mainstream Hollywood cinema can be deconstructed through analysis. Here, I aim to undo how Western cinematic narratives shape how we understand our geological epoch, meaning through limited, simplifying and blinkered eyes.

By skeptically and critically approaching depictions of authoritative figures like scientists and representations of Indigenous peoples and their relationships with their environments, I hope you’ll be able to deconstruct the certain spectatorial passivity mainstream cinema has long imposed on you. After this vision shift, you’ll be able to delve into alternative narratives that allow you to thrive in the Anthropocene by creating space and time for active and aware spectators.
