Gardener (work-in-progress showing)

Chor. Perf. Karol Tyminski

Gardener is a perverse allusion to problematic human interventions in broadly defined ecology, a network of relations between physical objects:organic and non-organic elements including animals and humans. The gardener figure is meant to represent a coloniser of the natural habitat,where according to his needs, be it nutritional or aesthetic, he rules over the value of specific beings and their very right to exist: some shall receive protection, some will be annihilated. This kind of anthropocentric model which is one of the major driving forces shaping the global reality, following the rhythm of hedonistic consumption, has gained the characteristics of "consumer-centric". The division between humans and non-humans has been supplanted by one between the consumers and the consumed where the former, privileged by market mechanisms and considering their scale of consumption a criterion of life quality, keep moving up an ever growing heap of "garbage" they produce. Searching for a promise of a less aggressive human intervention in the very sensitive network of relations between different beings, Tymi?ski undertakes a study of inter-material eroticism as a potential means of sensitising individuals to inanimate matter and creating an equilibrium of statuses between the human body and its surroundings. In his project, Tymi?ski becomes both a creator and a guardian of oceanic gardens which are not just an attempt to deconstruct the marine environment, but also his ally in a choreographic act of unity.
