Eros in Motion – A Sensory Journey Through Landscape
2025-07-14 08:00 - 2025-08-13 17:00 (America/New_York)
3 Weeks of Devising + 2 Public Showings

From July 14 to August 13, WildHeart artist-in-residence Pascal Buyse will lead a group of participants through a unique process of building performative installations in nature. This residency explores eros as a life force – a queer, sensual energy rooted in desire, connection, and creation. The installations are not static objects but embodied performances of the labor and movement that created them. Participants lift, crawl, stretch, and reach – the act of building becomes choreography. Later, these forms invite the audience to move through them and reawaken those gestures intuitively.

Core Research QuestionCan an installation—built and physically experienced by its creators—invite visitors, without words, to move in specific ways? How can the maker’s intention be felt purely through material, shape, and landscape?Theme: ErosEros here is not about sex, but about the drive to create, connect, and feel. It’s the energy that pulls us toward another body, a tree, a thought. It is soft, curious, powerful – never aggressive. It is what moves us.
