HEAVY KINSHIP - research residencies within the IN SITU network — Part 1

First part of the series throughout IN SITU by Nana Francisca Schottländer

Nana-Francisca Schottländer is a Copenhagen-based inter-disciplinary artist working at the intersection between dance, performance, installation, and conceptual art. Her work revolves around encounters and intra-actions with other-than-human entities and phenomena such as rocks, fungi, water, soil, and entire geographical areas with their inherent lifeforms and dynamics. Central to her work is the use of her own body as a living tool for research and creation.

Things that happen in the street. An attempt at a dictionary

By Eléctrico 28

This dictionary attempt captures the spontaneous and never-ending choreography of daily life, radically exposed to open air. And then, organizes all the material in very unique categories, following an alphabetical-rebel instinct and an artistic code rooted in Eléctrico 28’s approach to urban space. We observe through a sharp but non-judgmental eye.

The Octopus Exercise

To rid herself of her writer’s block, Emke decided to try out something a bit different in the forest near where her parents live. She embarked on a trip that shows her how relative her normal experience of the world was. Based on this experience and her interest in the workings of the human senses and psyche, she is now developing a project called ‘The School of Unlived Worlds’. In it, you, the audience, are asked to place your 'perception bubble' amidst the perception bubbles of other people and other animals and to try creating new bubbles (‘Unlived Worlds'). This fosters a deep respect for the worlds of others (including those who aren’t human) and a sense of the wonderfulness of existence. This text describes her initial experience as an example of the workings and mindset behind "The School of Unlived Worlds"
