NOTES ON WILDERNESS / Exposure
NOTES ON WILDERNESS is an intervention in the processes of operations in the agricultural economy. The prunings of a winter from the region have been piled up in the arboretum to form a rampart. The storage of this once sprouting material amidst the surrounding trees is illuminated on both sides by a series of light tubes. The lines of light effortlessly cut through the disordered wild thicket of branches. While the heavily interwoven material is taken from a temporal endpoint of growth, during the 3 months of summer/autumn storage, entirely different timelines take hold. Climbing plants native to the terrain begin to climb up and through the thicket, birds are looking for nesting sites or shelter. If the storage were to be extended in time, it would approach its own dissolution, while new growth would have long since taken over the terrain. NOTES ON WILDERNESS opens a temporal passage where opposing timelines couple.
