about

Two weeks ago, heavy rains finally extinguished a massive fire front that destroyed eighty percent of the Blue Mountains World Heritage area. This summer, bushfires powerful enough to generate their own electrical storm systems burnt through a fifth of Australia’s forests, killing an estimated 1.25 billion nonhuman animals and obliterating the homes of at least a hundred already threatened species. The rains had caused a minor landslide on our train line and followed me as lively creeks and waterfalls along a path which once led to buried fire hearths many thousands of years old. So clouds join other ghosts asking to be heard.

Composed of field recordings, found audio and news broadcasts. With thanks to Sue Reid, Joel and Sumu

Tessa Zettel is an Australian artist. She was in residence at the Institute for Provocation (IFP) in Beijing in 2018, during which time she organized the reading group "Extinction Club."


两周前,大雨终于熄灭了蓝山世界自然遗产地的大火,这里80%的地区都遭到了破坏。今年夏天的丛林火太强烈了,由此引发的雷暴烧掉了澳大利亚五分之一的森林,杀死了12.5亿的动物(其中不包括蛙类以及无脊椎动物,比如昆虫),至少100种受威胁物种的栖息地被摧毁。我去了大峡谷、布莱克希恩、以及扎鲁格和贡达古拉领地。大雨在我们的铁轨线路上造成了轻微的山体滑坡,形成了小溪和瀑布,伴随我一路通向数千年前的火的遗迹。云和其它的幽灵一道,都要被听到。
作曲使用了实地录音混合拾得音频与新闻广播。感谢苏·里德,乔,苏木。

泰萨·泽泰尔(Tessa Zettel),澳大利亚艺术家,2018年曾在北京激发研究所(IFP)驻地,在此期间主持了灭绝俱乐部阅读小组。
