An Interview with Stephen Collis

Rebecca Saloustros chats with Stephen Collis about A History of the Theories of Rain and The Middle.

From the article: “Collis acknowledges that one of the reasons we keep hurting the Earth is because of our disconnection from it. However, that disconnection doesn’t come from being stuck in an office all day away from hiking trails. Instead, it comes from seeing ourselves in isolation and thinking everything revolves around us, which Collis sees as detrimental. Instead, he’d like us to place ourselves in the “context of the wider web of life” all the time. Thus, he chose migration and displacement as his central theme in The Middle.”
