About this item
by Jamie House (Author)
Journey into the intricate ecosystems of Cornwall's Goonhilly Downs SSSI, situated along southwest England's fractal coastlines. Where monolithic satellites loom over an ancient wetlands teeming with life.
Transmissions documents two years of speculative field studies, fusing together photography, bio- and eco-acoustics, textual responses, and experimental geography to present a unique transdisciplinary portrait of this fragment of the Lizard Peninsula.
In his debut book, Jamie House explores the posthuman dynamics of the Anthropocene: insects communicating in the soil beneath satellite transmissions, sonic reverberations, rare plant-life that clings to abandoned bunkers, and the encroaching climate disaster. Through his encounters and explorations, Goonhilly Downs becomes a space for contemplating the intelligence, agency, and resonance within these more-than-human worlds.
