The project “Shān Yáng de Dào - Way of the Goat” is exploring feral goats’ climbing skills to re-visit an inherently human condition - fear of heights.
The project will portray how these animals physically relate to space and to the landscapes they live in.
Shaolin Kong Fu and Mohwk Indian culture constitute a conceptual periphery for this work. Their members excelled mentally and physically through hunting and studying animals.
Central in this project is to explorate alternate ways of generating knowledge and finding a new platform for learning, that is not delimited by health and safety policies.
We like to challenge common conceptions of intelligence and skill through looking at feral goats- those silly billies up on the hill.
This project is being supported by Safle through the Studio Safle Award and developed through the Small Wonders scheme of Picture This.
