Rehearsals for Departure / Site 9831-B is a hybrid, poetic-textual work unfolding alongside my long-term experimental feminist sci-fi (SF) film and installation project, Bodies of the Future. Combining narrative fragments, epigraphs, and a field-research log, the piece registers the material, infrastructural, and temporal conditions that render certain futures inevitable. Shipyards, factories, transit corridors and dismantled landscapes are approached not as backdrops but as rehearsal spaces: sites where departure, extraction, and redundancy are practised and normalized.
Rather than offering linear narration, the work assembles observations, speculative gestures, and the field notes of a lone operative, DROBE, who records and misrepresents what he encounters. By blending pre-narrative reflection with immersive, sometimes fantastical reportage, the piece functions as a parallel strand to the larger SF project, offering a speculative lens on the habits, infrastructures, and imagined logics that precede transformative events.
