Earthseed (2021), 3-channel video installation
Zedani’s three-channel video installation Earthseed (2021) is an experimental short film that weaves together factual information with science-fiction narrative. It tells the story of an imagined kinship in the Future Gulf between robots, humans, and their camels, which evolved from the traditional camel racing of the 21st century. The story is a framework to amplify the projected effects of climate change on the Gulf region in the coming decades, and a catalyst to open a regional dialogue around these urgent ecological matters that require our immediate collaborative attention. The film’s dialogue has been developed with the independent writer and poet Wided Khadraoui.
