The Remote Sensation of Disintegration
Experimental film exploring Louisiana’s ecological bodies and their segregation by extractivism—the process of extracting natural resources from the Earth to sell on the world market—witnessed from the water of the Mississippi River, the sky over Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, and satellites accessed from a computer in London.
An ongoing work, the film is formed from a variety of materials including images from research trips, oil industry datasets, and audio recording reflecting on the knowledge of ecological violence accumulated in the body via a process of being-in-and-becoming-place.

Imani Jacqueline Brown Imani Jacqueline Brown is an artist, activist, and researcher from New Orleans, USA. Her work investigates the continuum of extractive environmental and economic systems, from settler-colonial genocide and slavery to contemporary gentrification, fossil fuel production, and police and corporate impunity. These investigations expose the layers of violence and resistance that comprise the foundations of US society and prefigure a future of ecological reparations. Imani received her MA with distinction from the Centre for Research Architecture at Goldsmiths, University of London, in 2019, and is currently based in London.
