NEW WORK: Alchemy in Berlin

Eva Bakkeslett is an artist, cultivator and gentle activist. She reveals and reclaims forgotten or rejected practices, concepts and cultures to redirect our attention to the patterns that connect us to the earth as a living organism. Through a combination of film and social sculpture events she unites nature and culture, people and crafts to create dynamic and aesthetic experiences. Her gentle actions challenge our thinking to reveal new narratives that inspire and engage us to make sense of and embody, sustainable and thriving ways. Eva shows, lectures and performs her work worldwide. With an MA in Arts & Ecology from Dartington College of Arts she divides her time between her roots in North Norway and Southern England.

"Humans are capable of a unique trick, creating realities by first imagining them, by experiencing them in their minds. …As soon as we sense the possibility of a more desirable world, we begin behaving differently, as though that world is starting to come into existence, as though, in our minds at least, we are already there. The dream becomes an invisible force which pulls us forward. By this process it begins to come true. The act of imagining somehow makes it real… And what is possible in art becomes thinkable in life". Brian Eno
