Residual Memory is a work-in-progress audiovisual exhibition rooted in the history and landscape of Appalachia, while engaging with the broader, global consequences of resource extraction, labor exploitation, and its ecological aftermath of industrialization.
Using scanned textures, field recordings, degraded imagery, and audio-reactive video, the project considers how landscapes hold memory: traces of industry, labor, abandonment, and environmental transformation. While Appalachia serves as the project’s point of departure, its subject matter extends beyond a single region, reflecting on extraction as a universal condition of industrial modernity.
The project is currently being developed as a spatial installation.
