LungA 2024 | Fró(u)n *
With Elín Margot
How can we express love for the ground we live on? How do we recognize the living body of nature, acknowledge its untamed value, and give it agency within our human societies?
We propose a shift in the narrative of personification. Instead of speaking, thinking, and interacting with an Earth-mother, we prefer the idea of an Earth-lover—an entity that gives and cares as much as it desires to be loved and cared for. It's a passionate love story between humans and non-human entities such as fjords, mountains, seas, and all the characters that compose our wild environment.
For Lunga, Antonía Berg and Elín Margot invite workshop participants to deeply engage with Fró(u)n and connect with Seydisfjördur’s nature in a radical way: by creating ways to make love with it!
Fró(u)n is a play on words—frón, an old word for Iceland, and fróun, the Icelandic word for masturbation. It serves as the title of their research project where Antonía and Elín create pleasure objects using clay from the fjord of Berunes, embodying the place in tangible artefacts enabling intimate interactions.
