Mirica Ačko, Liza Šimenc, Alja Petric: THE BODY AS AN UNTRAVERSED LANDSCAPE

Duration: 30 MIN
Inclusive sound and movement journey
pokrajina

Body as an infinite, occasionally untrodden landscape, in all its diversity and variet; A landscape as a space, place, and body that navigates the specificity, uniqueness, individuality, wholeness, balance, and harmony inherent in its nature. Ideas about bodily and spatial landscapes are always accompanied by different perspectives, perceptual frameworks, and viewpoints. This landscape, as a whole, is more real and complete than any of its individual parts. When we view a landscape, we perceive a complex network of similarities and connections. In addition to visible perceptions, there are other forms of perception: internal sensations linked to the functioning of organs, the smell and sound of the environment, the texture of fabric, and the warmth of the ground. Each cell in the body carries its own memory, and through this memory, a universal force is at work. However, we do not always exist in an ideal landscape; rather, we acknowledge and accept this reality with respect.

In their collaborative work, the creators explore the body and their experiences through movement. The joint project In Bodies, What Kind? These Kind! (2024) is divided into two parts. The first part, titled Organically Technological Assemblage, was presented at Cirkulacija 2 (Liza Šimenc, Mirica Ačko) in April 2024. The second part, Body as an Untraversed Landscape, will be showcased at the Festival Platform of Contemporary Dance in Maribor.
