In the form of a “cultural field study”, the participants take up scientific findings as inspiration. For this purpose the project uses a classical medium of communication techniques employed by the scientific museum: a life size Diorama is constructed, exhibited and brought to life. In this way, the visitor becomes the observer and recognizes him/herself as contributing to processes of change. Natural Habitat can be experienced as an installation as well as a sixty-five minute performance. English and German versions are available.
This is a trailer of Natural Habitat, a performance installation created in the Naturkundemuseum, Berlin.
After looking back on the 200-year history of the Museum für
Naturkunde (Berlin) and likewise into the history of science, the art
project Natural Habitat ventures a look into the future. What could our
world look like in 200 years? Amidst a post-apocalyptic, surreal desert
landscape, a woman (Homo Sapiens) finds herself surrounded by survivors
belonging to other species. Both as the observer and the observed, she
interacts with the animals that surround her and the changing conditions
of her habitat.In the form of a “cultural field study”, the participants take up scientific findings as inspiration.
