Faun Vium and Therese Bülow often work site‑specifically, inviting audiences into slow and attentive encounters with landscapes, materials, and narratives. Their works emerge in dialogue with their surroundings and explore relationships between humans, nature, and culture, with a focus on care, local anchoring, and shared experience. Together, they create works that connect nature, storytelling, and local communities through sensory formats.
For Bringing In The Tide, Vium and Bülow are developing a performative and sculptural work that will be activated three times during the exhibition period. The audience is transported by tour bus through the landscape, ending at the beach by Blåvandshuk Lighthouse.
The work explores some of the secrets hidden beneath the sand—both literally and speculatively. Drawing on the landscape of the Wadden Sea and the people and animals that inhabit it, the artists investigate the relationship between place, body, and narrative. The work examines the tension between protection and the destruction that can lie within protection itself. Local residents take part in performing the work, in which the transformations of the landscape and human relations are explored and reimagined through shared stories and collective actions.
BIO
Therese Bülow and Faun Vium each maintain their own individual practices while also collaborating in a shared artistic partnership. They complement one another by combining Vium’s performative and dramaturgical perspective with Bülow’s deep knowledge of materials and ecological awareness.
