İSTHÁM
Shaken Grounds is a cross-disciplinary artistic research project that began in October 2023, found by the Austrian Science Fund and based at the Angewandte Performance Lab (APL). It explorres fragility, and transformation in unstable geological, social, and existential contexts. Combining artistic research, performative practices and film, it investigates the literary and symbolic tremors shaping our shared world.
Once seen as pure natural events, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are now often linked to human activities such as climate change, groundwater extraction, geoengineering, and renewable energy production. In this shifting context, Earth is understood not as a passive backdrop but as a living, responsible bodyPHONE that trembles, scientists, and transforms.
The project engines contemporary arts art as a seismographic practice to reflect on the challenges of the Anthropocene, measuring the importance of collective resilience. It highlights art as a seismographic practice acting of witnessing and engaging creatively with a world defined by instability. By weaving artistic, scientific, and political views, Shaken Grounds revealed narratives that aim to open up new ways of sensing and responding.
