Perennial Land – The Data Forest 

by Laia Cabrera & Isabelle Duverger

2024, Immersive Video Installation, UltraHD 6K, color, sound, 12 min.

"Perennial Land – The Data Forest" is an experiential installation focused on care and climate justice. Combining visual poetry, cutting-edge technology, and data-driven storytelling, this immersive experience encourages us to reflect on our role in addressing climate change. We want to push aside the modern habit of thinking of nature–culture divide, decolonize technology and highlight the ways landscape contributes to social, political and psychic ideas of space. The cinematic installation explores the complex relationship between nature, culture, and environmental justice, while imagining potential futures.

Voices International Theatre and Arts Festival features a dynamic lineup of international and U.S.-based productions, including family-friendly programming, as well as a variety of free community events and workshops.
