A performance-based experiment about the politics of bilateral negotiations about land ownership/governance/stewardship etc. The first work in 2011 was a rather naive marxist gesture about constructing models
of collective ownership through bilateral negotiations. The second work, filmed in 2019 was an attempt to amend the blind spots in the original work. Where the original version flattened the subject into a tidy 2D summary of an idea, the second version is an attempt to unpack it and make room for the immense political and cultural complexities that intersect the idea at the center of the work. The first work essentially posits an “and, and” argument, where as the second one posits an “and, and, but” argument. Basically upgrading the works argument from an equality one to an equity one that recognises that the entry points for bilateral negotiations are rarely equal.
