Through The Panesthetic River, Isabelle Carbonell combines two core ideas. First, the project identifies the site of the river as crucial for investigating representations of the Anthropocene’s impact. Second, it proposes experimental documentary film as  an embodied, sensorial approach for capturing the human and nonhuman practices of world-making cataloged by rivers such as the Mississippi. Through a range of shooting methods, the project attempts to (re)visualize the histories—and environmental violence—the river harbors.
