In this ongoing body of work I consider the properties of aerosols and argue they constitute a form of material assembly and socio-spatial practice with political efficacy and aesthetic import.

 

I combine a study of atmospheric aerosols with Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe’s early theorization of antagonism to propose an environmental relation between bodies, materials, and space that dissolves a normative hierarchy of difference. Such a dissolution begs a consideration of what new forms of social and political life become possible and necessary amidst an aerosolic condition.
