Tidal Protocols
Nana‑Francisca Schottländer's Tidal Protocols are instructions for experiences and interactions with specific sites, which visitors can carry out on their own or in groups. With the instructions in hand or on their mobile devices, participants are invited into sensory and intimate encounters with the tides and the surrounding ecosystem.
The protocols are developed, among other contexts, through workshops at Ho Bay, open to everyone.
Tidal Meditations
Tidal Meditations invites visitors to an intimate encounter with the tidal flats, the life within them, the sea currents, and the coastal winds. The performance takes place on June 20 at Blåvand Beach. It is possible to participate in the performance or experience it from the beach.
In Nana‑Francisca Schottländer’s work, the body plays a central role as a sensing and investigative instrument in the creation of art and new knowledge. She often works in long‑term series of works, exploring selected themes over time. Her method is characterized by immersion, co‑creation, and slow processes, with audiences frequently invited to participate actively. The individual works function as laboratories in which body, perception, and experience form the point of departure for shared investigations and exchanges.
