Kosmos
2012
An installation at the Sedge Meadow Cultural Residency excavated an upstairs room in the old farmhouse, articulating the parallel between the director’s history as a child of the farm and that of Alexander von Humboldt (the title referencing Humboldt’s magnum opus). Texts, images, and objects interacted to explore the relation of gender and nature. The centerpiece was a wooden magnifying periscope that allowed one to see the landscape through the window text, evoking multiple ways of knowing the world.
