the coming seasons are stored in the roots

about
Hip-Hopfen Sonnengeflecht
Hip-Hop Solarplexus
styria

This project invited by Kulturverein Schreams as a land-art transformation
from a hopfield breaks out of land-art hierarchy of heavy earthmoving into
intensive listening dreaming recording
interacting with earth
in a place on edge
of two countries whose borders
made and remade by history
has its own herstory.

An aging woman
becomes em-powered
a sheep woman sings slovenia
a farmer woman tells styria
fieldworkers hand and foot
wiresongs in wind
the four directions marked by sun
process from root to brewery to mouth
to next year pruning root
community industry kultur work.

There is a land marking, an installation at Klinger Gallerie in Arnfels,
this book, a soundwork, a  handmade paper score, self-photographed meditations,
cakra readings in the field, hip-hopfen paper, and a bird-spirit drum.
