ABSTRACT
Inhabitants is an online channel for exploratory video and documentary reporting, founded in 2015 with the aim of bridging visual arts and journalistic research. This chapter is written by its founders and focuses on a selection of inhabitants’ video episodes ranging from 2016 to 2018 about issues related to environmentalism and the Anthropocene. In narrating objectives and processes behind these episodes, we discuss inhabitants’ approach to image-making and difficulties in representing large-scale issues such as climate change, geoengineering, the economic interests behind resource extraction (such as offshore oil and gas in Portugal and deep-sea mining worldwide), or the concept of the Anthropocene itself.
