Where sandstorms are frequent, but the people are warm - Mirja Timm“I move between wanting to know more and wanting to know less, between wanting to feel more but not too much.”
Where sandstorms are frequent is a performative lecture looking at how we come together in times of social disconnection, increasing polarization, and detachment from the ‘natural’ world? This work is part of the Contemporary Performative Arts exam performances and explores and makes use of previous performances and gatherings, different artefacts and tools for dis/connection.
The piece is immersive, and you are invited into the dilemma of ‘how to stay connected to self, world, and others in a disconnecting container?’
“You probably know this, but a stranger is a lover who has decided that it’s safer not to care.”
Bio
Mirja Timm (she/her) is an artist who works in the field of performative art, design and community work, with themes related to dis/connection, care and responsibility. The resulting works are often participatory and immersive.
Mirja grew up between peat bogs and the visual expanse of heathlands. She works with scents, stories, artefacts, soil and slowing-down, windows and entry-points, digestion-spaces, permaculture, and dilemmas.
She has a keen interest in examining how to find balance in an out-of-balance society. She also practices gardening, dancing with the plant-people, and somatic research.
