Factory walk

Factory Walk, coreographed by Sabina Holzer will introduce you to a bodily experience within the architecture and equipment of the former Montecatini Factory in Sinigo, Merano. Factory Walk is part and expands from the research of Plant Plant, a project by Katrin Hornek, curated by BAU and ar/ge kunst. The exhibition at ar/ge kunst can be visited until 12.02.2022.

Have you ever thought on parts of your body being manufactured? Both, the exhibition and the Factory walk situate the chemical element of nitrogen as the prism through which to look at the history of fertilizer production with its immediate and planetary entanglements. In response to Katrin Hornek’s invitation, the performer Sabina Holzer expands from the research of Plant Plant and entangles the molecular and earthly perspectives with the physical encounter of the site to open the senses and the imagination. The Factory Walk will trace the resemblances between organic and inorganic matter, between the natural, cultural and industrial as interrelated bodies we share and of which we are a part.
