Walks in Blanca
Documentation of Walks in Blanca, as presented during LUNA Young Masters 2024, Leeuwarden.
Mountains surround the Blanca region in southern Spain. The dry but overgrown environment feels natural, but at the same time the human influence on the landscape is undeniable. During a residency in Spain, I made short and temporary interventions in the area around Blanca. I filmed walks and movements in different places and brought the films together in an audiovisual installation, in which visitors can join the journey through the landscape.
Walks in Blanca sheds light on how our bodies occupy a place in and on the world, but takes an open approach towards it in which the viewer, by becoming part of the work in their movement, can make their own associations.
The films shown are made in the context of a residency program at AADK Spain in June 2023 made possible by Media Art Friesland.
