FLÖKT: the podcast
A conversation about aesthetics and ecology
EN
Do you ever have aesthetic experiences from reading theoretical texts?
Last spring, FLÖKT - a flickering flow premiered, a spherical and serene dance performance by Bára Sigfúsdóttir and Tinna Ottesen. In extension of the theme of the performance, Tinna Ottesen entered into conversation with eco-philosopher Guðbjörg R. Jóhannesdóttir. The result is a podcast that zooms in on the relationship between aesthetics and our experience of ecology.
