SNSF Sinergia 2021 – 2024

2023, February 27, Artist Encounter with Katrin Hornek, 18:00-19:00

ARTIST ENCOUNTER – How does it feel to live in an increasingly toxic world? Where does the geological sphere end and where does the organic-human begin?
Katrin Hornek will give us an insight into her artistic practice, where she explores the sensual dimension of the human experience as an all-encompassing force of "nature". Using excerpts from her film and sound works, we will explore the metabolic entanglements of human bodies and different Earth systems.
The talk will be in English and will take place via zoom. Follow this link to join.
This event is part of our series of Artist Encounters and is supported by the Stanley Johnson Foundation.

Voices is our public outreach format. In collecting short statements and responses from all society, we want to include otherwise unheard voices and foster a broader dialogue on the ecological imperative. We also want to relate our own conception to perspectives from outside academia. The format of Voices relies on Hito Steyerl's concept the poor image, which emphasizes the potential of easily accessible, low resolution footage brought to common use.
