Stretching Exercises To Feel Climate Change is an embodied, movement-based investigation that speculates on more-than-human temporalities to foster climate awareness. It examines how human and nonhuman bodies inhabit the complex, unfolding realities of climate breakdown, exploring these entanglements through performance, publication, and collaborative practice.
1. First Exercise: An Attempt On Weathering The Water Fall
Solo Performance – DIPLOMA25, ZHDK (June 2025) Presented in Take a Detour, the audiovisual installation is co-created with Antto Logy. The footage of Hierve el Agua’s travertine formations is projected through semi-transparent plastic curtain works as an audio-visual, poetic exploration of thick time. On the last day of the exhibition, the installation was finalised with a 30 min solo performance.
2. Second Exercises: Manual On Sitting
School of Commons 2025 For the peer-led, annual publication ISSUES, I developed a Manual On Sitting, a conceptual score combining drawing, writing, and collage. The work puts in dialogue an active body—which feels consequence, weight, and loss— with the passive, distant body that enables harm through abstraction, and by refusing distance it exposes what is taken, who is affected, and what is being lost.
3. Third Exercise: Alone Together Somewhere Hot
Movement Practice and Transdisciplinary Performance (September – December 2025) A collaborative, weekly movement practice, translated to a transdisciplinary performance in Theater Maxim on December 13th, 2025. An ironic remark, a sincere attempt to grasp the reality, unwillingness to admit that you feel it too, all is fu**ed, all is fine, I‘m not interested in that – again and again our bodies receive and react to horrible news of our own extinction. Through stretching their bodies and minds, performers research the existence in a world that‘s been heating up and ask themselves – could I really change my ways of thinking and doing? Could you?
The entire body of work is accompanied by detailed documentation of all exercises, including images, scripts, and audiovisual materials from each performance, providing insight into process, methodology, and embodied research strategies.
