Our individualist world is choreographed by separation, which distinguishes social, spatial and ecosystem relations through the script of fiction. ‘Fiction’ – understood here as the construct of institutions- has suspended our relationship with otherness, promising utopia through a novel of personal accumulation and progress. The virtues of efficiency, optimisation and management maintain this cultural narrative, but nothing is so sacred that it cannot be re-engineered.
The techno-utopian methods of collection and monitoring are not enough. Nor is standing in opposition to the powers that perpetuate the spectacle of conservation. Misuse and misbehaviour are the only tools left in our arsenal to de-identify with the tactics of division that transform our environment into museified scenery. And so, in tearing down the sacred and the imaginary; the conserved and the productive; the accessible and the restricted, it would be possible to imagine a new theatre of annunciation.
This does not mean that that transcending divisions between subjects are a process of overcoming difference. The vector of de-familiarisation is required to expand the interpolation of actors and relations consciously. Convergence allows for profanation, where unlearning recalibrates our world by liberation. The task of transgressing what could be from what is, of opportunity from redundancy, of misuse from contagion, is an exceptional ambition. But give up on burdens of servitude, neglect the functions of compliance and embrace a new fiction which reconstructs the images that the dominant performer is damaged.
In 2003; a region spanning the entire state of Queensland is established, and then divided into 8 zones for the management of the reef. The tools of legislation and segregation entomb the reef into a conservation zone of pure spectacle and inaction. Lurking within this construct exist coastal bites that sit next to every major industrial town; eleven zones that operate outside of the rules; points of intensity; areas of exception.
These areas of exclusion are trade off points between industries of production, distribution and tourism, where the laws of the marine park don’t apply. They are neither governed by the laws of the land, nor acknowledge the ecosystemic relations between human activity and preservation efforts. Through the strategy of alienation, these zones extend the mechanics of industry onto the reef, transporting coal scientists, tourists, energy, beef, fuel, resort employees, fruits, and nuts throughout the reef and to global cities.
Shahar Cohen and Jerram Rosen’s drawing “the Theatre of fictions” drawing developed at the Master Studio, the Factory of Hyperecologies III by Amaia Sanchez Velasco were nominated as one of the five finalists for the Architecture Drawing Prize at the World Architecture Festival. The Architecture Drawing Prize culminates with an exhibition of the winning works at Sir John Soane’s Museum in central London. https://thedrawingprize.worldarchitecturefestival.com/shortlist-2020
