CROSSING RESEARCH
Research 2018 -2025
Since August 2018, Katharina Lökenhoff has been travelling for her artistic research project ‘Crossing,’ visiting Iceland, Finland, Egypt, Lebanon, and South Africa. She is investigating how people in different places respond to the experience of uncertainty and the global process of crossing borders. To this end, she will continue the interviews on new journeys starting in summer 2025.
So far, the interviews have shown that it is possible to discover new life strategies in the field of art: it has become clear that cultural life and survival take place through exchange and not through separation, and that art can be a way to connect with a general human consciousness that is free from group affiliation. A process similar to child’s play seems important here. My vision is to continue to provide new impetus for the preservation of the natural habitat and natural joie de vivre from this CROSSING process.
In the second CROSSING process, the central research question will be:
How does peace work?
