T-1: A live essay by Evan Calder Williams
A new live essay composed from video, text, and voice, T-1 assembles an intertwined montage from three discrete histories: ice, compromised vision, and colonial geography. The first presentation of Evan Calder Williams' 2015 ISSUE Project Room residency, T-1 takes its name from an enormous roving Arctic island initially classified as "Top Secret" by the US Air Force. Incorporating video shot in both a modernist dollhouse and a melting spring forest, the performance moves widely among sites and texts, ranging from Anna Kavan's slipstream novels to the nineteenth-century Caribbean and from fascist glacial cosmology to ghost ships allegedly crewed by cannibal rats. In this work, Williams continues to explore the blurry ground separating the speculative and the historical, seeking a visual and sonic language adequate to film and to speak what remains stuck in the middle.
