Performance „Evocation of Absent Landscapes“
Location: Das Weisse Haus, Hegelgasse 14, Wien - Innere Stadt
About event
With the installation ‘Evocation of Absent Landscapes’, Claudia Bosse continues her ‘haunted landscape/s’ project with theatercombinat at DAS WEISSE HAUS. The space is transformed into a sensory environment featuring video works and materials such as salt, mud, hair and wool.
Bosse opens up a ‘third space’ where human and non-human perspectives on landscape intersect. Visitors are invited to experience fractured, living and hybrid ecologies.
The installation will be activated throughout its duration through performances and interventions.
In the activation “Evocation of Absent Landscapes”, Claudia Bosse recalls encounters with Indonesian landscapes, such as the humanmade mud volcano in Sidoarjo, wich partially devoured a village, or the mines on the active volcano Merapi, which continually wound the sacred mountain. She summons landscapes 11 000 kilometres away, giving voice and bodily form to their injuries, topographies, textures, and materialities. The absent landscapes enter a dialog with the present landscape of the installation, which is expanded into the sonic dimension through the sounds of Günther Auer.
