Abstract

“Smooth (Hand)Fish: A Eulogy” is an original poem written and performed by Dorion Sagan for the online congregation, Vigil for the Smooth Handfish, produced by Daz Chandler as part of the Parallel Effect project. The Vigil’s ‘intention was to provide a space for a digital congregation, to contemplate loss, grief, the parameters of care, the interconnectedness of conservation and radical hope, and “collaborative survival”.’ It was live-streamed on 22 November 2020 across three different timelines.

I collaborated with producer Daz Chandler and musician and sound designer Edwin Montgomery to create an animation based on Sagan's poem, which was screened as part of the Vigil for the Smooth Handfish online event, which was supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW and by the Australian Cultural Fund and The Graham F Smith Peace Foundation.
