Kommentar/Beschreibung

In their current work, the anthropologist Christine Moderbacher and the artist Lenia Hauser focus on the same topic: the ground beneath our feet: while Lenia Hauser uses her artistic methods to approach geographical structures which do not reveal whether they show a distant or nearby environment, a landscape or even an organism, Christine Moderbacher looks at but also beyond reactionary ideas of “soil”, questioning what it means to be attached to and engage with the ground – both as a living organism and as a concrete experience of people’s attachment to the soil they live on/with. By zooming in on different artistic and anthropological engagements with the ground, the seminar introduces renewed scholarly attention to soil (e.g. Puig de la Bellacasa 2017) and its spatial depth. Together, we will reflect on using artistic methods such as painting as an ethnographic research method and discuss its potential benefits and flaws. We seek to advance the dialog between art and anthropology through combining ethnographic field research and artistic tools of representation.
