The Turning of the Year - How to perform in landscape today?

Ongoing research project at Interface Inagh 

 

This is a slow art work that has started at the beginning of May, 2023.

 

Every week for a year I come back to the same spot in the woods at Interface Inagh. I place my camera on a static tripod and take self portraits and film myself while performing within the same framing. 

 

After one year I will create a (time lapse) video from my movement material, so the cyclical change of the seasons will become visible. Additionally, I will have a collection of photography shot during my dancing.

 

The methodology for this project is strongly influenced by the performance artist Annette Arlander and her book "Performing and Thinking with Trees".
