Abstract
“It is easier to imagine the end of the world than – this” The opening line of the poem touches on words by Fredric Jameson that it is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. The 16mm film evokes the everyday-ness of life in the abandoned public spaces of the present-day city, colonised by nature and wakening to new possibilities after the long period of pandemic. Erased by the ebb and flow of urban regeneration, these repurposed sites are resonant with the city’s histories, rewilded by visions from past and possible futures. Poem spoken by Ruth Mitchell. A Creative Associates project for the Sustainable Earth Institute, University of Plymouth. 'The Other Side of Now' feature includes embedded link to the film poem, synopsis, and authors' biogs.
