‘A Tremble, A Tug, A Telling’ is an immersive installation of moving image and sound by New Zealand born artist Gail Hocking.

Investigating the complex connection between bodily experiences and nonhuman phenomena, the works are based on a recent lived experience through a climatic catastrophe. Drawing on the weight of this embodied experience the work explores the struggle to understand changing landscapes. It questions how one moves forward through the realization of the erosion of a future memory.

Hocking has a strong connection to the land and natural environments and her research and artistic output centres on the relationship between human and nature or non-human beings, emphasising environmental concerns through a lens of empathy, intimacy, and vulnerability.
