After The High Tide (2021)
Published by Folium
"Who’s in charge of making history?
Who is responsible for the fragile and enduring threads that weave together a world?
Where lies the root, the primary cause of the hues of reality? "
So starts ‘After the High Tide’ a speculative fiction by philosopher Dario di Paolantonio written in response to the works of the MA Photography students at the Royal College of Art.
With echoes of Italo Calvino, Liu Cixin, and H. G. Wells, Di Paolantonio’s text choreographs the book through narrative spaces inspired and punctuated by the photographers’ images. In the book text and image come together in an unexpected and unrestrained dialogue, producing a third space for the viewer's imagination to take off.

Matrilineal Mythologies (2021)
Video Performance (7.74 min)
Collaboration between Jesse May Fisher, Paola Estrella, Katrina Wilde and Rita Silva .
Drawing from previous research anchored in tacit knowledge passed down through maternal lines, each artist brings an offering to the table. Through a cycle of repetition and closure, an embodied conversation is performed. Text, material, sound and the body become conduits for practical magic. Honouring entangled stories within intimate gestures, the everyday is elevated as current threads of our research are closed.
