TY - JOUR AB - <p>This piece is a collaboration between Venice-based photographer, Katarina Rothfjell, and Turin-based sociologist, Luigi Russi, both of whom experienced the onset of quarantine in Italy, in March 2020, in order to contain the spread of the Covid-19 disease.</p><p>An abrupt rupture in the conduct of everyday life punctures an atmosphere of safe expectations and reveals unsettling new proximities. First and foremost: the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which is ubiquitous but also invisible. Alongside it: the prehensile vapours where speech begins, and the erratic soundscapes that keep vibrating bodies together across open windows.</p><p>By charting these proximities, the piece strives to make visible the ‘continuum’ of bodies—human and nonhuman—as they ‘take place’ simultaneously, and affords a glimpse into how the possibility of agency might be imagined in a posthuman horizon, beyond the comforting human-centeredness of the Anthropocene.</p> AU - Luigi Russi, Katarina Rothfjell DA - 2020/5// DO - 10.16997/ahip.17 IS - 1 VL - 1 PB - University of Westminster Press PY - 2020 TI - Floating in Quarantine: Where Colourless Green Ideas Sleep Furiously T2 - Anthropocenes – Human, Inhuman, Posthuman UR - https://www.anthropocenes.net/article/id/657/ ER -
