Mountain Woman
Mountain Woman - Tunes to FaceTime
Mountain-Woman are symbolic syllables of both Icelandic and Kurdistan origin. As a transversed version of Quota Queen, the hexed subaltern of the exploitative neo-colonial fishing industry of Iceland in North African waters, Mountain Woman, a transposed national personification of Iceland, presents a hymn of the motherland in a distorted magic of statelessness. A juvenescence voice in the state of becoming.

In Sea Body Infrastructure Image the North Atlantic Ocean is discussed as a territory of passage undergoing social and ecological transformations. The material and mythological meanings of this shifting geopolitical entity flow in the streams of technology and capital, in the histories of diasporas and of the Cold War, in the desires and discourses that cross its waters. But the Atlantic waves also resonate the fluid embodiments from the archaic and futuristic realms of a different oceanic shoreline, of in-between landscapes inhabited by queer, inter-species forms of existence.
