Funded in part through the Canada Council for the Arts’ New Chapter program.

The essay THE GARDENER, THE RUBBER TAPPER AND THE HERBALIST responds to Force 3–Gentle Breeze with a story that entangles a personal narrative, a history of cinema, and a rubber plantation, connecting the salons of Paris and the rainforests of the Amazon. As a text written in anticipation of a film-to-come, Marcel reveals other decolonial ways of inhabiting the garden through her work with the herbalists at Casa Chico Mendes in the city of Santarém.

The lecture-performance with the same title was presented for the discursive program, entitled “How on Earth?,” of the exhibition Verschwindende Vermächtnisse: Die Welt als Wald [Disappearing Legacies: The World as Forest] at Tieranatomisches Theater at Humboldt University, Berlin, in April 2018.

Filmed between the end of 2017 and the beginning of 2018 during a residency at Casa BICHO in Alter do Chão - Santarém, Pará-Brazil, in collaboration with the herbalists of the Casa de Chico Mendes in the neighborhood of Conquista, periphery of Santarém, the video is now in the final editing phase.
