Beskrivelse
Messily Mediating Miljø: A Walk in the (He)art Forest is a participatory walk —co-created, site-specific, loud and playful. Situated in the sculptural and earthed landscape of the (He)art Forest, the walk draws together long-standing artistic friendships and transdisciplinary research interests in eco-literacy, care, imagination, and more-than-human relations.Woven from years of co-r-respon-denSe and podic performance (on an island, dipping in water, resting on a mountain, walking into the wilderness wearing a wedding dress), this 90-minute walk invites participants into an exploration of ‘mediating miljø’: more-than human, multimodal, multi-species, multi-sited sensory encounters with environment.
Mercedes, typewriter-cum-sound-maker, or Mercedes, sinful benzy vehicle, may appear, referencing earlier walks, our entangled human-object-nature relationships and the sustainability trade-offs between something new and something old.
Participants will be invited to experiment with the first architectural layer: clothing. The membrane that mediates our being in the world. What do garments do to our experience of environment? Do you have to wear Patagonia to become eco-literate? Or: why do Biologists often wear woolen sweaters?
A dressing rod will be provided. Hangers will among others hold Katrine Bergkvist Borch’s evolving PhD cape, Anja’s pink suit, a wedding dress, tails, hats with ears attached, a fur muff, antennae, the Wave, and an octopus costume.
The walk will be a loud walk with rhythmic ranting, running, rivalry, rioting and recklessness. All vital and skizoid bifurcation that exceeds modernity and disciplined being is invited during this raucous walk among companions—researchers, children, trees, moss, mercedes, and more-than-human kin.
