Tellus°#3: Sympoiesis. A study of an unruly art practice

Sammanfattning

This essay constitutes the written component of my MFA project and examines the development, realization, andpresentation of my final performance, Tellus°#3: Sympoiesis. It explores the underlying artistic intentions andmotivations, as well as the practical and conceptual challenges of the process. With particular attention tocollaborative and participatory methodologies and the broader idea of Tellus° as a public art platform.The text further analyzes the recurring tendency in my practice toward large-scale, complex, and time-intensiveproductions, often approaching the format of a Gesamtkunstwerk, a multi-medial art work. While the MFA processhas involved experimentation with multiple formats, this essay focuses primarily on Tellus°#3: Sympoiesis, situatingit within the context of contemporary performance art.
