Workshop: COMING CLOSER. Cultivating vulnerability in/with the land

Sammendrag

As researchers on site-specificity, ecology, and aesthetics, we are interested in how we as humans position ourselves to the landscape we are in/with. Is it possible to change our relation to the land – from human-centred impressions of nature as scenery, to more sensuous, intimate, and entangled encounters? And how can this relation come about through performative and aesthetic engagement? In this workshop we want to experiment with artful ways of exploring our human vulnerability though bodily movement and sound, asking questions such as: What are the power relations in the landscape? Are there different scales of presence between humans and land? Our partner will be Jegersberg, a nature area just outside the university. Here the landscape was formed by the movement of landmasses over millions of years and later by the pressure and tearing of the ice ages, now covered with vegetation. A history of movement that we must imagine to be able to believe and respect. After a short introduction to the geological history, the participants will begin to walk in/with the landscape while recording what they see, sense and experience through the walk. We will experiment with different kinds of walking and of making sounds. From walking in an everyday position, we will begin to make ourselves more vulnerable, fx by walking with bend knees or on all fours while sensing the soil, shrubs and trees that we encounter on the way. Finally, the voice-memos recorded will be part of a process of visual transcription and collective reflection about our experiences. Participants will be invited to donate copies of their material for further research.
