Using film clips and objects from the Karrabing Film Collective and research on bioluminescence, Elizabeth A. Povinelli and Susanne M. Winterling jointly explore the governance of existence in the crumbling discourses and practices of geontopower. What forms of existence are staying put, retreating, being extinguished, and gaining affective force; and what political vocabularies are emerging as the fictive politics of logos gives way to other signals, senses, and dreams? Where will our anti-capitalist antagonists emerge from? What shape will they take—red algae, toxic sovereignties, precariat posthumans—and where will this leave those clinging to the benefits of late liberalism?

Susanne M. Winterling was born in Rehau, Germany, where she still lives. She works across a range of media to explore the sentient economy, digital cultures, and the social life of materials across our built environment.

She also remains focused on historical feminist practices and the commons and highlights different ways of knowledge through embodiment.
