Embodied Encounters at the Site of Deep Ecology

Based on process philosophy and ecological philosophy, the project explores ecological awareness in the experience of a mountain. The fieldwork takes place at Tvergasteinstjørnet, a mountain area located in Hallingskarven mountain range in southern Norway, over a period of approximately five years.
The research aim is to explore, experience and artistically articulate the mountain. This includes the experience of ecological awareness or the sense of being embedded, being part of and being vulnerable.
This is art- and practice research where knowledge develops in the interplay between theory, practice and art production. Here, the body and the senses are the primary sources of knowledge. Sensibilisation is to enhance the ability to discern and find meaning in the continuously changing nuances of the environment, and this is both method and aim. Diary notes, visuals and sound recordings, together with readings of literature enhance sensibilisation and awarness.
The project explores in what way recording technology, photography, sound and video, facilitates, or distorts awareness of the mountain. Sonic and audiovisual artworks are developed the along the way. The project discusses the use recording technology in a way that enhances ecological awareness. The creative process stimulates reflection and the artistic outcomes contribute to the research findings.

Abstract:
The artistic research project "B.O.D.Y. - the second skin" (2023) explores the topic of correspondence for a new topic in theory and its material in art for the question of creativity in practice.
The artistic research method is an articulation of the spaces a, b, c, d, x, y, which is methodically explored.
"Space x" is a reflection of B.O.D.Y. - the second skin on the subject of correspondence, and "Space y" is a theoretical exploration of the theory of post-feminism.
This artistic research project "B.O.D.Y. - the second skin" (2023) is the research detail and advanced exploration of the artistic research "B.O.D.Y. (2010) - between auditory fiction and body reality.
The art project "B.O.D.Y. - the second skin" (2023) deals with issues of intersemiotic transposition in the transformative processes between different artistic media.

"N.N-Zwischenliegend" – non-calculable time, space and body

This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
Non-calculable time, space and body is the second part of the artistic research “N.N-Zwischenliegend.” This part consists of three main questions: How to create a documentary that is not binary proof? Is it possible to understand artistic documentation (a work of art) as knowledge? Is it possible to conceive artistic documentation (a work of art)? These questions refer to the subject of Arti-fact, and to part three “N.N-Zwischenliegend” of my artistic research. In doing so, I attempt to investigate the subject of aesthetic contemplation, which frequently relates to cultural evolution. For this, I require self-reflection on whether a work of art could be documentation on the topics of space, time and body.
The third part of this artistic research is on spatial installation.
The three important elements in this part are the photographs which I took of Berlin, the sounds which I recorded in the city of Berlin, and the interviews with Berliners. – an invisible city and the recent notion of a 'city' towards urbanism in Berlin
