As a bunker provides protection during critical times, similarly “As Roots Grow Back Into Us“ offers a shelter from the high-paced urban pressure cooker of everyday life, and invites the audience to enter into the underground sonic world around the bunker space, where non-linear, ecocentric logics reigns — even in the city. Through a place-bound responsive sound installation and performative listening sessions, “As Roots Grow Back Into Us“ guides the path to a sonic underworld that extends beyond human time and boundaries. Descend into the bunker and be slowly consumed!
Christine Hvidt is a Danish multidisciplinary artist based in Denmark and The Netherlands, with a heart burning for the unique life forms and astonishing intelligences on Earth. Christine combines technology, ecology, art, science, animism, and philosophy to explore relational frameworks across species and cultures. Her experimental and place-bound approach fosters tangible encounters and intimate reconnection with beyond-human creatures and forces in the ecosystems they inhabit through participatory listening, sound, responsive systems, embodiment, poetic writing, audiovisuals, and imagination. Christine holds a BA in Art&Technology (AU, DK) and an MA in ArtScience (KABK, NL).
