TERRA///
TERRA/// is a dance/sculpture art installation and a work in progress.
Ferrumoxid in the soils, Ferrumoxid in our blood.
Take a second, a breath, picture a bladeless knife. with no handle…..
TERRA centers on the body’s intrinsic connection to the environment, exploring the interplay between somatic practices and the forces shaping our planet. Recent expansions in Julia Flux’s work delve into electromagnetic fields and quantum realities, emphasizing the body as both a receiver and transmitter within a network of entangled forces. Drawing on the principles of quantum physics, such as superposition and entanglement, TERRA positions the body as a site of non-linear interaction—a vessel where the micro and macro scales of reality converge.
By treating electromagnetic forces as more-than-human agents and invoking the quantum idea that matter exists in a state of potential until observed or acted upon, the work underscores the body’s role in collapsing these potentials into tangible expression through movement. This somatic translation not only amplifies the hidden vibratory nature of matter but also situates TERRA within a dynamic framework of reciprocity, where the body's movements actively shape and are shaped by the quantum entanglements of the environment.
Through this lens, TERRA becomes a living inquiry into the unseen physics that underpin ecological and human systems, forging an embodied bridge between the forces governing life and the urgent need for planetary connection.
