\\
How can I encounter the spaces of our environment that are deeply related to human agency, destruction and also a very male ideology.\\
thinking about a traumatized landscpae of our environment 
\\
How can I approach these spaces? All the established methodologies seem way to reductionist, the ambivalences we are faced with
\\
A different methodology what surrounds us, making the performative encounter with a place...
How can I understand my responsability in the destruction of the global 
\\
The ongoing discussion of the anthropocene brings about a new understanding of the world. How can I encounter this condition of the anthropocene - important to do this project in an affirmative way 
(against narration of extrinction)\\
**It is not about negating it, but embracing it**
\\
Clark: We need these new practices & methodologies,we need to formulate an alliance with these actants that could possibly also kill us \\
work with the aspect of trauma & destruction - with the aim to relate to these traumatized people and places, to forge a methodology of co-existence with these players that could potentially kill me \\

__present danger is invisible, this ambivalence of not seeing and feeling anything about that__ \\
How can I understand the trauma & grief inscribed in this place \\
"I have to be present at this place" - insert my body in that place, to go there and to breathe the air that could potentially kill me --> **affirmative approach**\\
\\
Bela Tarr: "The Turin Horse"\\
not the hopelessness of darkness & extinction, but breathing that persists, something new and hopeful might emerge (the storm is over) \\
I have to go to the border of death\\
Sth. new might arise, a new way of dealing with the trauma of the world, also a new way to feel responsible, to lead this total darkness into a condition of certain light\\
\\
__no dialctics anymore but an inherent paradox we face:__ the air i needed to live but with the same I could also die from: maybe humans have to learn how to breathe "Non-Air" --> immediate relationalities, practice of being close\\

The __aspect of carrying__: fragilazing myslef

\\
__Bracha Ettinger__\\
Carrying is knowledge - to find a different methodolgy of encountering the world\\

The link between space-wound-trauma: an etymological relation, the possibility of encountering a place, a wound/ trauma --> there is this performative moment, the possibility of creating something new 

Immediate encounter, attentiveness to sensations, to places, simply to listen what a place is telling \\
\\
accessability to trauma, to a more hopeful direction. How this whole investigation can be applied a tool, as an alternative approach towards the ongoing violence in the past-present-future..\\
establishing the connectivity with an "otherness" \\
\\
my body a investigative tool - immersion into traumatized places -> breathing is making the relation to the other also brings the other into me\\

trans-subjectivity: understanding of human subjectivity, human subjects not singular, but trans-subjective
