Mer - Of Oceans and Bodies, 2min., Canada
Directed by Katrina Piacek
Mer - Of Oceans and Bodies is a hydrofeminist experimental dance film that explores the interwoven experiences of femme bodies and oceans under extractivism. This work takes on an hydrofeminist perspective, exploring the interwoven experiences of femme bodies and oceans. It investigates the patriarchal logic of exploitation and its effects on the fertility of oceans and bodies, blurring the binary between them as symbols of fertility. Investigating the correlation between the moon's effect on ocean tides and femme reproductive cycles, this piece explores how patriarchal development and exploitation confuse and corrupt the cycles between nature and bodies and how we can explore reimagine our relationships with bodies of water through movement.
