which methodology can i develop to translate theories of care into an archive, which covers exposure and closure of my body?

 

i am a structure maker and translator within the field of artistic research, positioned at the confluence between care and art. my artistically translated body is a riverbed for my attraction to knowledge of care in which i develop a methodology to translate my insights into the production of an archive. this archive takes the form of a river connecting theory to practice to reflect on the exposure and closure of my body within artistic research. through the spatiality of the images, the archive enables a relation to the knowledge in an embodied way.

 

connected knowledge makes it possible to transfer an experience of no world to a world, terms introduced by Lauren Berlant in On Being in Life Without Wanting the World to express a lack of context with which to generate recognition and meaning. the riverbed of research becomes a way of navigating this no world. of how to hold our own. in relation to each other. a way of carrying care, encompassing an open hand image for encounter rather than a desire to grasp.

keywords: connection, provocation, commitment, precision, sincerity.
