The Center for Investigation of Land Mass Agency (CILMA), is a field study project that activates the natural landscape to investigate care, thing-power and land use. Through site-specific experimentation and ritual action, CILMA becomes a catalyst for engaging grief, healing, interconnection and object agency to deepen our environmental awareness. As active participants in the destruction of the Earth’s condition as we know it, we are forced to contend with a unique state of disillusion, anxiety and mourning. CILMA’s research keys into these concerns and considers the intimate connections between humans and the more-than-human world.The CILMA Field Study and Material Inquiry Databases can be viewed here.
