A tribunal to hear the case of Lake Vättern. Involving allegations of i violations of Article 2 in the 2010 Earth Rights Declaration. The recording took place in Sigtuna May 2019.
As part of the project Climate-Just Worldings Lina Persson builds a storyworld, a vision of a different world. The film Tribunal for lake Vättern is a step in developing the jurisprudence for this storyworld. It is made together with the broad movement fighting for a new kind of law that includes nature’s rights. The tribunal was staged together with the Global Alliance for Nature’s rights (GAN). Developing her ideas around expressing non-human perspectives in film, Persson brought the water from Lake Vättern into the tribunal setting and centered the room and the documentation from the water’s position. With a 360 camera she aims at capturing a sphere with the circle of water at its center, focusing the documentation on the water surface’s reactions to what happens in the room.
