As part of VIENNA ART WEEK 2024 and drawing on this year’s theme “Facing Time”, Andrea Nagl presents a site-specific performance created especially for Room 6 of the Natural History Museum. In a physical engagement with the space, the artist poetically brings the exhibited objects to life and gives them a (non-verbal) language.
Dancing fragments and moving artefacts appear fleetingly and – similar to events in the history of the earth – disappear again, reflecting the transience and cyclical becoming and passing of life as well as the surface formations of our planet. Digital tools, such as AR artefacts, expand the spatio-temporal boundaries and create a multi-layered, immersive experience.
The performance will be shown as part of the VIENNA ART WEEK on November 13, 2024 from 17:30 to 20:00 at the Natural History Museum.
