Individual Residencies
2021 | Kirstie McCubbin
While based in Collemacchia I investigated aerosols – substances enclosed under pressure and released as a fine spray by means of a propellant gas – and their relation to global warming, and how that affects the way in which we perceive our world.
In this long-term project I aim to bring attention to the effects and problems of climate crisis and global warming, in a confrontational but poetically engaging way.
I explored and therefore learned about the residency’s local environment, and heard from local citizens about changes they have noticed or been affected by over recent decades. The series of images that I made reflect my findings in an attempt to contribute to awareness of environmental issues.
Additionally, multimedia and/or collaging techniques were used to create images that resemble realities, but that speak to the future scenarios that humankind is creating.
