notes - IDEA PAPER
Die Region um Narva hat viel erlebt… Aber mit welchem Recht soll ich darüber berichten…?
ich möchte zuhören, den Ort, die Menschen, Pflanzen, Tiere, Elemente… selbst ihre Geschichten erzählen lassen
Asche = Erinnerung …Tinte aus Asche? …Pigmente …Eggtemphra …Öl?
ein einheitliches Medium um Geschichten zu sammeln, als Collage zusammenzufügen
mit offenen Sinnen den Geschichten lauschen… Neugier, entdecken… zuhören
Menschen Schreiben mit der Farbe ihre Erlebnisse auf, eine Eidechse läuft übers Blatt, drucken mit Pflanzen vor Ort, der Regen lässt die Farbe verwischen…
was macht sie alle stark? Woher kommt die Wiederstandskraft?

Objective
▪ Tracing mutual shaping of human activity and elemental flows in post-natural
landscape
▪ Mapping recurrent cycles of death, decomposition and renewal at the
intersection of changing geo/biopolitical imaginaries and energy regimes
Your task
▪ Tracing how objects, bodies, plants, organisms and places are linked into
relations of mutual shaping and interdependence
▪ Emphasis 1: trace shifting boundaries of waste, residue and how they facilitate,
diffract and/or redistribute life-enabling or constraining potentials and
capacities across times and scales
▪ Emphasis 2: unpack less noticeable tensions, collaborations, and attunements
emerging from ‘non-consensual inhabitations’ of land, bodies, ecosystems, or
soils, etc.
▪ Feel free to set your own focus within the main objectives of this program
Key Steps (in preparation of field week)
▪ Select an object, organism, specimen, people or places to study
▪ Conduct preparatory research on recomposition of elemental flows it/they
embody and their effects
▪ Summarize your research interest/planned experiment in an idea paper on the
course wiki
