Abstract
The Floating University site was originally constructed so as to control of rainwater levels associated with the Tempelhofer Feld in Berlin. Previously an airport, the Feld is now one of the cities most important green recreational spaces. As result of creating the rainwater basin, various species over the years have come to inhabit the area, including a number of reeds, which circumnavigate the site. Addressing the reeds, Call Into the Now looks to how ritual practices can create bridges between human and other species, specifically by bringing attention to the life cycle of the reed.
Witching the logics and languages of site ‘use’ this workshops invited members of the human communities working at Floating were invited to take part in workshop session (27th June 2021), where guided visual mediation was used as a media through which to connect to the reeds, their form and their life cycle. Follow on from the mediation those gathered were asked to record their impressions and sensations of the thinking-with the reeds. These recorded sensations became the bases for the the passage that was read a loud during the performative procession, which was carried out on the opening evening of the Climate Care programme (3rd Sept), with musician and artist Gordon W on drums.
