In Boundaries, Tess Campbell and Sam Mountford present their new film On the Shoreline, which results from research undertaken with the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies. Curated by Lucy Bleach, Boundaries explores states of observation and vision, meshing scientific research with personal stories, conflating the temporal and spatial scales implicit within our contemporary materials and lives. Using the ‘shoreline’ as a strategy to probe the environmental and existential concerns of our time, Boundaries seeks to dissolve the conditions of knowledge and reason to which we are attached.
