Session Description:
In the happenings, Every How Drowned In An Ocean of No How, I will invite participants to lay down, fall asleep, and dream as soft words about human/non-human entanglement were spoken and bounced off the walls of a defunct fish processing facility inside a fish factory in Iceland. How does the ocean speak to the land? How does an artist provide alternative experiences in communication and initiate re-connection to natureculture? Petrichor—the rain’s breath upon the earth—mingles with the briny scent of the sea, with sulfurous whispers of dimethyl sulfide, with the ghost of phytoplankton and fish; and through the cylindrical metal walls of the fish silo, the ferry horn resounds like a distant summons from the ocean floor. Then, sounds of air reverberated in the local pipe organ, an instrument for local congregation, touched and played by my toes and fingers, were recorded and transported through electrical signals accompanied by viola. “How does Land teach us—and how do we listen through creative practice?”Through underwater fieldwork, performative workshop, I will bring forth experiences of ocean immersions to land, and invite participants to listen to these deep echoes of jellyfish, whales…and reflect, imagine, and dream on possibilities of collective re-inhabitation.
