CALEV

Calev is an artist living and working on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation. In a bold departure from their comics, illustration, and sculptural practice, Calev has entered the audiovisual field with their first transmedia work, Snail Mail, in collaboration with a snail. Snail is a snail who lives in a mailbox on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation. Snail may comprise of a single snail or multiple snails. They have never been sighted and are known only by the leaving of their poo in said mailbox.

PROJECT: LINK 'Snail Mail'

In a longitudinal collaboration with snail(s), Calev has produced an audiovisual projection accompanying a textural arrangement which aims to explore the parallels between life in a mailbox and life as a renter during a housing crisis in Naarm and under capitalism.
