In their ongoing research project Latent Accumulations in Nida, environmental media scholar Léa Perraudin and architect Iva Rešetar are concerned with the scales and phases of paraffin debris in this seemingly pristine natural environment.
To investigate and address this latent accumulation of paraffin on the coastline, Perraudin and Rešetar organise three guided walks along the Baltic coastline near Nida, inviting audiences to map and collect paraffin residues and to share, exchange and connect through experiences, local knowledge, and memories of shifting landscapes and materials at thresholds.
Each walk concludes with a visit to VAA NAC, where participants can enjoy warm drinks, snacks, and a space for exchange and discussion.
Organised by Iva Rešetar and Léa Perraudin from the »Matters of Activity« Cluster at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, as part of their NAC residency. The walks will be documented in video and sound recordings by Anna Luise Schubert.
Latent Accumulations is based at the interdisciplinary Cluster of Excellence »Matters of Activity. Image Space Material« at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, funded by the DFG (German Research Foundation) and pursued in collaboration with Nida Art Colony of Vilnius Academy of Arts supported by the Lithuanian Council for Culture.
