Smiljana Gilsovic's Choreography for Moving Image is an experimental video essay which asks how video practice might engage with and contribute to the cultivation of an "ecological self". Glisovic's methodology explores "thinking with" the moving image in response to the "spiritual transformation" called for my Joanna Macy's The Great Turning. Drawing on theories of Soft Choreography and Critical Intimacy, the video explores how the interplay between spoken text and moving image can carve out a space for an affective, haptic understanding of the interrelationship between our selves, our bodies and the environment.
