Time to Land
As artists in a foreign land, searching for connection we ponder what it means to belong

We meet in one of Basel‘s parks and look above and around us. Listening to children playing, construction noises, and other sounds of the city,, we see leaves falling from the trees, an early reminder to the coming winter. We start to wonder, what if we follow these leaves falling to the ground? Who and what might we encounter? Will they want to encounter us?
We are reminded of the work of French philosopher Bruno Latour, who encourages us to change our view point. Rather than reaching for what is beyond us and separating ourselves from the ground, we use the gesture of bowing with gratitude to listen to the ground under us, take time to land.
By connecting to the soil, our concern for what will become of the Earth deepens.
