'pull(ed) toward the core' is an ongoing inquiry on forces, the earth’s magnetic field and the body. This video is one of the outcomes of my exploring the affordances of the Windtunnel. The Windtunnel, located on the roof top of Toni Areal, is the lab of the Research Focus Transdisciplinarity at Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK), where I could work and experiment during my artist residency (Oct 2023 to May 2024) in collaboration with the MA Transdisciplinary Studies in the Arts and the RF Transdisciplinarity at ZHdK.
This video in progress, shot in the Windtunnel in April/May 2024, was shown as part of the sharing/open studio event of the lab 'Matters of collectivity through embodied practices', which I facilitated in collaboration with transdisciplinary artist Eirini Sourgiadaki at the MA Transdisciplinary Studies in the Arts (autumn term 2023/2024).
A huge thank you goes to Prof Patrick Müller and Prof Florian Dombois for making this residency possible, to Mirjam Steiner and Sascha Jösler for their great support, to Doris Berger for her insights on 'setting the stage' to shoot the video, and to Regula Müdespacher for sharing with me her photographer expertise.
