Abstract
Highlighting the need for more time and dedication to site before designing and building, this on-going work formalizes such an approach through personal performances in the wild, where a slow and observant gaze become crucial.
Traversing remote territories without a tent or sleeping bag, forces the senses to “read” the landscape more acutely, to slow down, in search for a night shelter from cold, sun, rain and wind.
In place of “designing” a shelter, the works explore an alternative, that is, “finding” a shelter.
As a parallel discourse, it also hopes to convey the fragility of desolate environments, in constant threat from the urbanization of the wild.
The exhibit is a selection of self-portraits from solo climbs and journeys in Greenland, Atacama, Jotunheimen and the Pyrenees.
