T-T-T-T
T-T-T-T is the result of a week-long research process developed within the ‘Art as a Means of Historical Inquiry’ module in ZHdK (in collaboration with the History Department at UZH). The research involved studying the geographic and technological arrangements of the Hofblum farm in the south of Zürich and thereby exploring the more-than-human connections between cultures and natures.
As part of the research, I used a magnetic-coil tattoo machine on various fruits collected on the farm and developed ‘tattoo-maps’ that framed the tattooing practice in relation to the planting and tilling of the earth.
The final presentation consisted of a lecture-performance in the fields of the farm, where the tattooed fruits were planted into the earth, thereby closing the cycles between biogeochemical and human life cycles.
‘Art as a Means of Historical Inquiry’ is a collaboration between Jonas Rüegg (Department of History UZH) and Willimann/Arai (Transdisciplinary Studies ZHdK). My participation consists of the third iteration of the collaboration,
