Individual Residencies
2023 | Conny Hurley & Lucien Anderson
We work collaboratively. Born out of a shared interest in outdoor adventure, storytelling and ‘giving it a go’, our work plays with fragmented narratives of survival, adaptation and resilience. Our practice is underpinned by Vonnegut’s description of time as ‘a mountain range stretched out before us, with all moments visible at once and indefinitely’.
A residency at The Museum of Loss and Renewal allowed us to engage with the nomadic and deep geological history of Collemacchia and the surrounding mountains. We sought to identify examples of local resilience and investigate models of conservation, ecology, and sustainability. We sat uninterrupted, talking, taking stock and processing our ideas, revisiting archival imagery, exploring new methods of making and continuing an open dialogue where conversation became utensil.
