Jeroen Peeters - It lay like a log absolutely motionless and apparently deprived of all its faculties by our damp climate, so inhospitable to foreign visitors

If we’d approach the ways we see, hear, sense and imagine art and the world around us as an ‘ecosystem of attention’ – would we discover a conceptual landscape populated with animals, plants and objects that somehow clarifies the medial character of the cultural ecosystems we embody? To explore questions around composing attention and dramaturgy, cultural immunity systems and ecology, Jeroen Peeters will depart from a single trope looming in the ditch: the crocodile, a predator that devours language and culture to then retreat like a heavy, taciturn creature to the river bottom of many books and films.
