We set up a portable "Weather Station" in Rotenburg, Germany to attract and invite local residents, both young and old. Residents were interviewed about their memories and folklore of winter. We also visited local homes in the region to collect stories and family photographs. Through these anecdotes and historical depictions, we investigated and creatively documented how the seasons have been altered by climate change and how these changes have been experienced by the inhabitants? Ironically, we conjured memories of winter during the height of summer.
Cheryl Wilgren Clyne edited the sound collected by the team and created the projection entitled Another Kind of Winter, which was presented as an evening sound performance on the grounds of the Educational Center for Environmental Issues- Licherode . The International Nature Art Forum 2007 in Licherode was developed in collaboration with the Umweltbildungszentrum Licherode (Educational Center for Environmental Issues- Licherode) and ProRegion Mittleres Fuldatal. It is an official contribution for UN World Decade -- Education for Sustainable Development in which the center for Environmental Education Licherode takes part. |
