CONSIDERING RICE
(IFUGAO TERRACES), 2010
This constellation of images runs over 12 meters in length and attempts to map the landscape ecologies of the Ifugao terraces of northwestern Philippines. The landscape is visualized as an entanglement that materializes through shifting and historically constituted multispecies relationships.
The main horizontal strip presents a montage of frames taken from multiple 180-degree video pans of terraces in Banaue, an Ifugao province now declared an endangered UNESCO world heritage site. Small photographs that surround the strip connect abiotic and biotic forces at play, co-creating the terraces: from animals and insects, to plants and woodlots, seed varieties, village life, markets, and mobilities. The terraced landscape is visualized as a spatial pattern that emerges from interminglings of difference.
