In Executive Order 27-1100100: Phase Change towards the Deluge, Alliance of the Southern Triangle (A.S.T.) navigates the precarious link between the rising sea levels in Florida’s Everglades and the melting Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica, commonly referred to as the Doomsday Glacier. Through a layered script that reads as part-fiction, part-incantation, and part-policy, the film constructs a nonlinear narrative that spans across multiple nodes of entanglement—gender, time, geology, and technology. It’s a document of our dizzying present, a meditation on the intertwined fates of human and non-human life, shaped by the forces of climate change.
The film’s three-channel format and installation uses a combination of original and found material to draw lines between present-day environmental crises and speculative futures. Voices from the future cut through the narrative, mourning a world already lost to ecological disaster. The setting exists in a speculative time where coastal cities have survived by forging alliances with non-human species, emphasizing the ways climate change dissolves traditional distinctions between human and natural worlds.
What emerges from these early alliances are not just contradictions, but new forms of being. Here, nature is neither dominated nor restored by human hands, but instead fused into a hybrid system where humans and non-humans collaborate for survival. The film suggests that the real phase change isn’t just in the climate but in our very relationship to the planet—one that demands a new understanding of entanglement and interdependence.
