Nanna Heidenreich “Nature, Territory, Borders. Current Processes of Fascization“ / Hugo de Almeida Pinho “New Natures / Nature Fictions“
New Natures / Nature Fictions explores the body as a hybrid entity between nature and technology. In a slow, minimal choreography, it appears both human and distant—like a trace or a shadow of itself. Hugo de Almeida Pinho is an artist, musician, and performer. In New Natures / Nature Fictions, he presents the body as a hybrid, mutable being, challenging traditional notions of identity and nature. A black second-skin suit and light-therapy glasses point to a present shaped by artificial light, screens, and constant activity. The body becomes both a surface of projection and a site of experimentation.
Nanna Heidenreich, a scholar of media and cultural studies and a curator working with film, video, theory, and interventions, examines in her lecture the intersection of ecology and border regimes. Drawing on contemporary examples, she shows how ecological discourses are used to legitimize exclusionary policies and the forms of violence that emerge from them. At the same time, she offers a critical perspective on the complex entanglements of nature, power, and social boundaries.
