For
this, Tina Ribarits will present her latest project the other planet, shot on location in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest at the
Adolpho Ducke Forest Reserve. Through sharing the influences that arose in the process of completion (ranging from blockbuster
movies and science fiction literature to (post)colonial ideas of exoticism and imperial history), this seminar seeks to enable
an exchange of ideas and experiences of working with cultural narratives but also its difficulties.

and public collections.
In the context of ‘doing research’ ‘in the field’(/wild) and potential upcoming ‘intra-actions
in the woods’, we would like to look at different methods of research used in fieldwork and writing. Through inviting guests
to share their working processes with us, we will ask how these methods relate to what is observed, how they construct the
entities produced and determine what we can know.
