ABSTRACT
This chapter investigates and discusses the activists' embodied responses to what that perceives as the capitalist exploitation of nature. It also discusses whether contemporary activism should be evaluated according to its ability to build institutions or its facility to create 'breaking visual events' that disseminate and circulate on various platforms and are able to evoke political enthusiasm and create new belongings through excessive visual repertoire. The strategy creates clearly identifiable effects by delaying certain processes, motivating media coverage, and giving a voice to repressed non-human agencies. The activist performances investigated in the chapter are focused on the natural and human vulnerabilities created as a result of 'the anthropocene'. The chapter discusses and draws the conclusions about the problems and potentials of the investigated mobilisation strategy. The protest of the body actually succeeds in opening the future and mobilising action in the present and contributes positive energy to the broader environmental movement.
