HAUNTED LANDSCAPES or the breathing out of earth
by claudia bosse
claudia bosse's performative landscape unfolds the skins of the earth into which humans dig themselves. haunted bodies encounter the layers of the planet and enter into a dialogue with them. sounds deform the lamenting bodies and wander through them, like the environments inhabited by the monsters of the past and present. as a continuation of the multi-part series haunted landscape/s, the encounters with wounded landscapes are bundled in a walk-in space in which the earth exhales.
with HAUNTED LANDSCAPES or the breathing out of earth, claudia bosse creates a space in which porous bodies, autobiographical texts, images and sounds condense into a plural structure. on unstable ground, the relationship between human and non-human actors becomes a walk-in assemblage of materials and remembrance. together with marcela san pedro, lena schattenberg, jianan qu, carla rihl and irwan ahmett in a soundscape by günther auer, the artist makes the enormous transformations of our planet tangible.
we
the leftovers
with our bodies we connect expand and learn
in reading and listening and marveling at the different languages
that we can hear
if we listen
listen to the space
of an amputated world
that connects
or expands and learns on what is left
which calls engages changes
a world in which WE
or our leftovers
become prostheses for other living beings
or vice versa
our planet is a living organism and covered with landscapes that visibly bear the signs of their encroachments, wars, climatic changes, the extraction of resources. HAUNTED LANDSCAPES or the breathing out of earth is dedicated to wounded landscapes and bodies and the human intervention in them. the landscapes change, shift, overlap, are used, excavated and destroyed. some of them are pervaded by ghosts that leave their traces in the layers of the earth and make them perceptible.

PROJECTS of haunted landscape/s: haunted landscape/s is a multi-format series by claudia bosse (2024/2025) in collaboration with various artists with/about/through wounded landscapes.
in HAUNTED LANDSCAPES or the breathing out of earth claudia bosse occupies the stage of tanzquartier wien at the end of october 2024 as a walk-in, performative environment, together with different materials, 5 performers and the sounds of günther auer. in HAUNTED LANDSCAPE on an unseen wasteland, a central residual area becomes an urban laboratory and venue for a series of visual, musical and performative interventions by claudia bosse with public performance school PPS and invited artists. in the field research project haunted landscape/s - about inner and outer landscapes as part of impulstanz, claudia bosse and the participating dancers explored relationships to landscapes, organisms and movements on unstable ground. claudia bosse's installation entanglement with a haunted forest interwoven with the forest opened mahler forum 2024 in june 2024 with a musical commentary by günther auer. between the built, the grown, the present and the past, the installation in the forest is freely accessible until the end of october. haunted landscape/s was developed as a site-specific performance with 3 dancers and 2 movement choirs in may 2024 for a derelict building site and ultimately ended in a multimedia installation. in october 2023, claudia bosse developed LANDSCAPE/S as part of the project celebrating trouble. choreographic convention in timișoara (romania) - a lecture performance as an installative spread that became a performative landscape.
the haunted landscape/s series was created as part of the 2022-2025 concept funding programme by stadt wien kultur, the federal ministry of arts and culture, public service and sport, with the support of the district of donaustadt, mahler forum 2024, KÖR Kunst im öffentlichen Raum Wien and in cooperation with belvedere 21, impulstanz, jugend am werk, wien 3420 and ÖBB.
the cycle ORGAN/ismus - poetics of relations combines modules, motives and methods for the realization of different artistic formats and at the same time wants to build or expand structures. because we can only realize those works for which we are able to find or invent structures.
