About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

In Bodies of Nature, the artist Nika Timashkova (UA/CH) invites visitors to a walking meditation along the paths of Botanical Garden in a poetic, performative search for traces. Rooted in embodied storytelling, the performance sharpens the attention to the subtle and overlooked, calling for a deeper presence within the garden's living ecosystem. 

Through the embodied figures of mythological creatures, shedding their coats as the nature itself, the artist explores the connections between bodies, plants, rituals, and shared memory. Natural elements like water, earth, and plants are woven into the experience, forming an ephemeral archive of the site - one that exists only in the moment and lingers in the sensorial memory of those who witness it.

The Performance is curated by Olena Iegorova (UA/CH)
