Hu Yue (胡悦) will introduce an ongoing project using walking as both a research method and a working process. She uses practice-based artistic research that employs diagnostic methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) – “Watching, Listening, Asking, and Feeling”- to represent artificially manufactured landscapes. By applying multi-sensory perspectives of “seeing”, a new terminology ‘Humanscape’ is created and represented through photographic language and with her “earth writing” experiences inspired by geopoetics studies.
Through intervening in humanly regulated environments, the artworks focus on the boundary and dynamic balance between Humanscape and the sea with photography, electron scanning, moving images, cyanotype prints, and sounds. The exploration is rooted in Hu’s intimate and intuitive walks in Tianjin, China.
This is an online presentation moderated by Hanna Åberg with Q&A with OnebyWalking group members.
