From salt flats to flood zones, abandoned villages to eroding coastlines, Edgelandia explores the remarkable places and people on the edges of the map: between land and water, wild and reclaimed, real and imagined. The project is formed by a series of artistic 'disruptions' and spans literature, performance, visual and sound art, film and digital media.
