Swampscapes

Daniel Jan Martin, Nandi Chinna, Mei Swan Lim

Ecological immersion through poetry, cartography and soundscape. Swampscapes ignites awarenesses of place. A little ecological engagement recalibrates how we see and read Perth. Swampscapes is a collaboration between Daniel Jan Martin, Nandi Chinna and Mei Swan Lim.

The accompanying soundscape was composed by Mei Swan Lim using swamp sounds recorded around Perth. These respond to the the three scales of mapping.

Poems written and recited by Nandi Chinna. 'The Appeal' and 'Derbarl Yerrigan'. From Swamp: Walking the Wetlands of the Swan Coastal Plain.

 
 
The exhibition was held at Paper Mountain in Northbridge, the site of the lost lakes.
