Landscapes in Furka

‘Landscapes in Furka’ explores the concept of becoming, and transforming, which can be seen or unseen. It centres on non-human beings that we normally ignore and would not even notice. ‘Landscape in Furka’ originates from the diverse waterways within the ecosystem surrounding Furka Pass, Switzerland. and it turns into a very personal work. There are billions of organisms scattered throughout the field, yet only scientists, and biologists or those specialists who typically seek them out through the lens of a microscope. Organisms are identified when they are observed; they disappear or never exist in a meaningful way if they are not seen and acknowledged. In this video work, I am becoming one of the billions, I am immersing myself in the field, in different landscapes, and I am one of the organisms. Viewers may try to locate me, but they might not notice me at all. When I move, I become more visible, when I stand still, I blend into the landscape and disappear in sight, only to be found again. Coming from the east, I found myself lost in the Swiss mountain, am I an invasive species? Seen and Unseen, voluntarily or involuntarily, You and I.
