invasiveness
w/ collectif trouble
in the frame of the AIR residency program of Balatorium
Invasiveness is a video installation that offers a sensory and multi-perspective interpretation of a Balaton region watershed. Exploring the territory during the Balatorium residency, we question the notion of invasiveness while discarding modern binary distinctions between endemic and invasive species. We are opening up the term invasiveness not only to plants and animals, but also to human activities. From crest to shore, they fragment the landscape and its balances, greatly altering biodiversity.

So-called invasive species are known to affect localised ecosystems in similar ways, which is why they generally fall into this category. Concepts such as borders and boundaries, private property and surveillance, shoreline artificialisation and hybridity, globalisation, mass tourism and extraction have entered our research and become the main protagonists of our non-linear narrative.

As fictionalists, we play with the landscape, bringing a multi-faceted presence that oscillates between discreet and potentially harmful behaviour, expressing the ambiguity of the notion of invasiveness. These blurred wanderings through landscape, collected images and woven materials are a way of exploring new ways of living on a damaged planet.
