The Great Delusion is a video essay exploring the links between the climate crisis, the frontier myth, and the American landscape imagination.
Using a model of fragmentation, non-linear accumulation, and the artist’s positioned narrative, the essay points to the many ways that knowledge and understanding of the climate crisis forms.
The title is in reference to Amitav Ghosh’s book The Great Derangement: Climate Change and the Unthinkable.
