„Prop for a Future Adaptation (nomadic microbial fuel cell prototype for giselle)“ (2021) ist eine Filmrequisite, die in der Reihe des ökofeministischen Thrillers vorkommt, indem erzählt wird, wie eine Gemeinschaft von Frauen eine neue Gesellschaft formt, während die moderne Welt zusammenbricht. In der Erzählung der Adaption des klassischen Balletts haben die Protagonistin Giselle und ihre Gemeinschaft eine Mikronation namens „Carcinellox“ gegründet, die ausschließlich durch Energie betrieben wird, die aus dem Stoffwechselprozess eines in der Region beheimateten Superbakteriums gewonnen wird. Die ausgestellten Kunstwerke, die sowohl Elemente der realen als auch der fiktiven Welt enthalten, sind die Prototypen einer Reihe von "Zellen" - wilde Batterien, die eine vielversprechende, aber schwierige Zukunft voller Veränderungen antreiben sollen. In „Prop for a Future Adaptation (nomadic microbial fuel cell prototype for giselle)“ baut Evans tatsächlich mikrobielle Brennstoffzellen ein, die vom BristolEnergy Lab entwickelt wurden, um organische Aktivitäten in Energie umzuwandeln. In einer Box aus Acrylglas setzt Evans neben preservierten Pflanzen echtes Moos und eine Petrischale mit aktiven Mikrooragnismen, die das Klima in dem abgeschlossenen Raum beeinflussen und die Funktion der Batterie andeuten. In Evans Version entpuppt sich Giselles Geschichte, von der Industrialisierung in die nahe Zukunft übertragen, als eine Untersuchung von Wandlungsfähigkeit und Vielfältigkeit als Ausbruchsstrategie, wobei die Naturgewalt der Bakterien als unerwarteter Verbündeter auftritt.


"Prop for a Future Adaptation (nomadic microbial fuel cell prototype for giselle)" (2021) is a film prop that occurs in the series of the ecofeminist thriller adaption of Giselle. In the narrative of the adaptation of the classical ballet, the protagonist Giselle and her community have established a micronation called "Carcinellox," powered solely by energy derived from the metabolic process of a superbacterium native to the region. Incorporating elements of both the real and fictional worlds, the artworks on display are the prototypes for a series of "cells" - wild batteries designed to power a promising but difficult future full of change. In "Prop for a Future Adaptation (nomadic microbial fuel cell prototype for giselle)," Evans actually incorporates microbial fuel cells developed by BristolEnergy Lab to convert organic activity into energy. In an acrylic box, Evans places real moss and a petri dish of active microorganisms alongside preserved plants that affect the climate in the enclosed space and hint at the battery's function. In Evans' version, Giselle's story, transposed from industrialization to the near future, emerges as an exploration of mutability and multiplicity as a breakout strategy, with the natural force of bacteria emerging as an unexpected ally.
