PANDA PORN RESEARCH TRACK
The panda porn research track started with the making of an amateur archive of panda pornography. Soon, the archive expanded to include material related to panda reproduction, libido management, and technologies of image production. The material in the archive spans from the 1950s until the present and comes from across the globe, with special mentions to The United States, China, Thailand and Malaysia.
I use this archive to consider the panda both as a biological species and a mediatic one. The projects in this research track explore different facets of the panda-camera-human relationship triangle through different positions, archival angles and research focus. To submit material for the panda porn archive, send your findings to ange.neveu@proton.me
All submitted materials will be cherished and added to the archive.

META TOOL STATION
Meta tool station is a sidetrack where I gather my thoughts on my research process, including tools, methods, the use of form, fiction, positionings, and other material entanglements that are independent of the content of research. Think of it as an attempt to clear my tabs.
VACANT GROUND RESEARCH TRACK
The vacant ground research track encompasses offline and online studies of two urban areas deemed unproductive. These sites exist on the margin of economic, social and cultural circuits of urban life, where capitalistic fictions can be studied negatively. What can be found where real estate projects and ecological management momentarily fail? Because of their ephemeral nature, these spaces create challenges in documentation and access. As such, they also require flexible ways of approaching archiving and narrative making to preserve the traces of the communities that shape them (weeds, squatters and passersby, construction workers etc). The studies in this track approach the inevitable change and disappearance of these sites with different gathering techniques, temporal span and personal perspectives.
