Tellus Nullius: Tria
Immersive 3-channel video installation with ambient sound
Veronica Vossen in Aeonic
The Aeonic project was developed by Vossen over 5 years. ‘Tellus Nullius: Tria’ is the central work in Vossen’s project - an immersive 3-channel video installation with ambient sound.
The visual narrative of the 3 video projections represent the 3 spheres of Earth’s biospheric habitats comprising the atmosphere, the hydrosphere & the lithosphere -air, water, land- and their ecological interactions and evolutionary timespans.
‘Tellus’ refers to Earth itself, the encompassing globe. ‘Nullius’ is a term relating to the notion of territory unclaimed or unowned, emphasising the significance that we humans are not owners, but merely co-tenants of the planet, with its diverse riches and resources.
Installation views during Aeonic exhibition
Photographed and filmed in Coigach & Assynt, a wild and remote coastal region in the far northwest of Scotland where three eco-spheres dramatically interact within an ancient and elemental landscape where the science of the globe’s geological evolution was historically established.
The installation is an immersive sensory experience surrounded by hypnotically absorbing visual and ambient audio sensations, aimed at engaging audiences mentally and emotionally to enter a state of reverie and wonder, experiencing both the beauty of our elemental Earth and the fear of extreme loss of habitat and species in an increasingly devastating era of climate disruption and habitat destruction.
As well as the general gallery visiting audience including diverse national and international visitors to this Scottish Highland region, a range of local groups visited: local primary and secondary schools, Dolphin Alzheimers Project, and local community organisations, proving very popular especially among younger audiences who often brought back family members for subsequent visits.
