site specific, hydrofeministic
Making connections, our liquid bodies, the water in all living matter that surrounds us.
Contained, transforming, responding to frequency, vibration, to gravity, rotation and temperature of earth.
Hydrofeminists describes how water flows through our bodies, through all species, through nature and materials, and connects us.How the sum of water on our planet is constant, and we are interlinked, through time, to earth.
In solidarity with all water bodies, transforming across borders, species, kind and gender.
BODY OF WATER embrace site specific investigations, our bodies transcending and becoming transparent.
We flow in parallel measures of time, drift, through land, liquid and stories.
A collaborative performance project involving dancers, sound artists, installation artists and scientists/researchers.
We include local communities in research, dialogue and performance experiments.
BODY OF WATER research and performances in 2025-2026, locations planned : Copenhagen Harbor, Holbæk Harbor, Bornholm and Christiansø (Bornholm).
We aim to SAIL between the different locations, carrying participants on sailing boats, possibly LUN ll, Havskum, Oskar, Tangle and other vessels.
The ships are part of creating a sustainable artist community, transport by wind.
Boats and floating vessels will also be part of the artistic creation.
BODY OF WATER is currently seeking funds and sponsors for our project.
