The Artificial Nature Project is the latest in a series of four works by Mette Ingvartsen staging perceptions and sensations of nature. What does it mean to create a choreography for materials where human movement is no longer in the centre of attention? How can one address the force of things, materials, objects and matters as something that acts upon humans?
The emerging choreography is partly performed by human, partly by non-human performers set in motion. The movement mutates the appearance and perception of these materials in many forms: from an abstract sculpture, a swarm of animals, to a sandstorm overwhelming the humans who get stuck inside it. One image is replaced by another, rapidly altering our perception of a glittering landscape.
