Flow Book

This book was written and photographed in 2021, during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns in Brighton, UK.

Flow Film

During the Covid-19 lockdowns we have seen coastal communities around the UK moving from their screens to the outdoors, seeking a connection with the seas, mostly for physical and mental health reasons.

The research was held during and just after the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown, engaging with the local community in coastal Sussex and reflecting in an autoethnographic manner through photography, interviews and video making. During it, a photographic book and a documentary were produced.

The topics vary from embodiment, feminism, oceans and climate change communications, more precisely, this research examines how embodied experiences with the sea may help facilitate a transition from the human-centred 'anthropocentrism' that dominates mainstream sustainability discourses towards the more complex species-centred values of the 'ecocene'.
