ENALA / EURO LAND ART Week (2012)

During the ENALA / Euro Land Art Week, a group of international artists and students investigated possibilities to engage with a tiny village called Lindstedt (D) and its residents, affected by the rural exodus. The quest to encounter this place and its histories resulted in a range of works and (shared) activities, in which we attempted to find fertile meeting points and potential common ground between villagers and artists.

The more or less isolated location of the village, surrounded by endless fields and woods, invited us to investigate different ways how we can see, experience and finally reconsider our views on (un-) familiar landscape and our relations to the surroundings. This practice-based process included the exhibition of a series of photographic studies in an abandoned sheepfold: part of a history-charged manor, which is currently re-enlivened as the heart of the (mainly elderly) village community's life.
