“Arrange images as Mountains […] re-paint the mountain range” Abelardo Gil-Fournier and Jussi Parikka explore this in their film LUMI. Think about Southampton or where you live, what landscape do you think of when you imagine this area? Create a ‘mountain range’ of how you see the areas you know best. What would live there? What plants would grow? Use your imagination to create this world and think about how to re-paint the mountain range!
