Midterm Evaluation: Helle Siljeholm
PhD fellow, choreographer and visual artist Helle Siljeholm presents her doctoral artistic research project that investigates interweaving’s between human and more-than-human bodies and places, examined through the lens of geological (deep) time and space.
The project seeks to rethink relationships between bodies, matter, and territory by exploring performative ways of seeing and sensing place and landscape. These perspectives are articulated through practical, poetic, and speculative interpretations of what this research understands and explores as a geological perspective—or, more precisely, multiple geological perspectives. www.themountainbody.com // www.hellesiljeholm.com
