Humans are always already rooted by other perspectives and enacted with an other without explicitly knowing them. A readiness to be changed by this unknown other opens up different ways of knowing and experiencing. With this situated field research I am exploring how we can act amid our worldly entanglements, effectively suspend our urge to categorise and thus cultivate story-telling practices that emphasise relationality.
The field research takes place through the means of extensive walking and experiencing. To that I add through reading philosophy, cultural theory and speculative fiction. I'm very intrigued by the human need for meaning, the perpetual search for and fabrication of it. In the past years, I have explored how physical environments influence our mental landscapes and how in turn our mental landscapes are projected onto our environments; or as Werner Heisenberg described in Physics and Philosophy: "What we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning."
