“WALKING BACKWARDS THROUGH EARTH’S LAYERS” – at the Natural History Museum Vienna
As part of the VIENNA ART WEEK, a site-specific performance at the Natural History Museum Vienna explores the connection between art and science in an interplay of dance and digital art.
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.
