ABSTRACT This article engages with the obstacles confronting documentary-oriented artists when engaging with the multifaceted problem of the era of climate change. The label ‘documentary’ evokes several assumptions and suggests that such artworks represent events in an objective, neutral and unmediated way. Consequently, the premise of representing reality-as-it-is is attached to these kinds of documentary artworks. Despite the large body of theoretical reflections on the limitations of the documentary mode, these false assumptions and promises endure. By revisiting the genealogy of the documentary tradition, and with particular reference to Hannes Dereere and Silke Huysmans’ 2019 performance Pleasant Island, this article points at some challenges and possible solutions for documentary artists to cope with the overwhelming complexity that characterises our current period.

期刊介绍:
Green Letters: Studies in Ecocriticism explores the relationship between literary, artistic and popular culture and the various conceptions of the environment articulated by scientific ecology, philosophy, sociology and literary and cultural theory. We publish academic articles that seek to illuminate divergences and convergences among representations and rhetorics of nature – understood as potentially including wild, rural, urban and virtual spaces – within the context of global environmental crisis.
