Roots
OBU Degree Show, May 2018
Two performance video documentations
The video displayed on the left shows the durational documentation of the digging of a hole with my hands over the space of five months. The video on the right shows the documentation of a private performance, displaying an intimate interaction with the soil. The figure shapes the soil and the landscape by digging, shoving and lying in it.
​
A personal exploration about reintroducing, rediscovering and redefining my relationship to nature as a way to define my existence.

Capturing the process of digging soil, immersing myself into the practice of animal burrowing.
​
Regaining an ancestral familiarity
with what is beneath our feet
something that is not lost
but simply forgotten
