Terrain (Koistinen/Valikoski/Zajac)

We think less when we’re walking far, we slip into a walking rhythm and thoughts cease, become a concentrated attention that is turned on all we see and hear, all we smell; this flower, this breeze, these trees, as if thoughts mutate to become part of what they encounter; a river, a mountain, a road.

– Tomas Espedal; Tramp: Or the Art of Living a Wild and Poetic Life (2006)

 

Terrain is an immersive installation, which takes the spectator on a slow walk through a hybrid environment, which combines visual and auditory elements from nature and urban spaces. With the support of guides and a subtle route which balances stillness and action, taking time to stop, then moving on, getting lost and finding the way again, spectators move through the installation as were it a landscape. Terrain is created together with each visitor who are invited to walk, observe, rest, follow the traces in the space and leave their mark in it as well.
