The project Reflections on soil and agriculture began in 2015 when I met John Eriksen, a conventional farmer in Djursland, Jutland. Through farm work and afternoon coffee, I became part of the community around his farm and made a film portrait of him. In Part I of this exhibition project, I explore how we talk about a difficult and emotional subject like farming across rural and urban areas, across generations and national borders. Through newly produced works centered on analogue film and interviews with the farmers, I reflect on how farmers relate to the land and their work to create produce in the midst of a biodiversity and climate crisis.
Throughout the exhibition period, I will open up ANA with the aim of creating dialogue between farmers and visitors. Partly through a dialogue event, through communal meals and a letter-writing workshop, where the focus is on writing letters from the city to the countryside.
Everyone is warmly welcome.
