The Unstable Gorund, 2021 essay, audio-visual spatial installation
       The Unstable Ground takes as a starting point the site of Lake Cerknica, an intermittent karstic lake in Slovenia, to explore the ground as unstable and in constant flux, breaking the binary understanding of space. The project on one side critically employs archival, cartographic, photographic and text-based research methods, combining them with artistic research practices. The methodologies produce a dialogue between the different notions of unstable landscapes, which have historically often become spaces of friction between local knowledge and universal knowledge, rendering them contested grounds.

       The ground and, by consequence, space are understood as unstable and constantly moving; therefore, they no longer appear static but begin to fluctuate. The terrestrial and the aquatic are no longer understood as binaries separate from each other but begin to form a hybrid temporal materiality in which one is submerged into an unresolved unstable cycle.
