REGULATED WILD

Often the boundaries surrounding a forest, a mountain, a field, or even a nature reserve, are permeable and contingent, much like the terminology we use to designate them. Despite their contingency, these not always evident boundaries mark a distinction between what is in one place and what in another. They determine what lies inside and what is left outside of their delimitation, defining spaces which — given their nature or their distinct way of operating — behave to a greater or lesser degree as islands, despite not being literally isolated. They are often ecosystems that are threatened by the impact of human activity and that require assistance or intervention — ironically, also human — to conserve them and preserve their purity.

'Regulated Wild' is part of DEMO  – Deptford Moving Image Festival, which takes place across several venues in Deptford and features a programme of screenings, live performances, and exhibitions. 

Made possible thanks to generous support from the London Archers and Goldsmiths Alumni and Friends Fund.
