Hybrid landscapes_ Research on rituals, bodies, knowledge, virtuality as an ecology with landscapes and wounded areas
This is a proposal to take a seat in the cracks and wounds of the earth, about absorbing them and examining their traces in the body. The body relates to materialities and temporalities in the landscape. The temporalities contain cracks in the history of the earth and cultural history. There are deposits of past life in the landscapes. The sediments are also the archives of climatic conditions and the organic waste of dead creatures. The landscape is the afterlife. The body can make knowledge stored in the body, in the landscape and the sediment accessible as ephemeral translation. Although a spatial unit, each landscape is a hybrid constellation of different times, beings and processes. The landscape- observation is part of the term- appears to the viewer from one perspective, whereby s/he/ they is aware of the superimposition of many perspectives of different beings. The landscape is a process of permanent transformation of various life forms and cycles that come together. How to research spatiotemporal connections between local and global events and their interdependencies imprinted into landscapes. How can choreographic practices be learned from landscapes to reconnect with them as affective bodies.
