Project: Last Vacation Before the End of the World

During the residency at Camargo, ze spent time synthesizing hir research and developing new work as part of the multi-part project Last Vacation Before the End of the World . Utilizing the research from hir Jerome Travel and Study trip to nuclear test sites and waste depositories in Nevada and New Mexico last spring, this new work is a multimedia response to our ongoing nuclear arsenal, questions of containment and disposal of nuclear waste, and the tourism industry that surrounds our nuclear production and history. A site visit to France’s International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor nearby, was a part of hir residency at Camargo.
