For this exhibition in Basel, I did a talk on my interest in the paradoxes and myths spun by the encounter between the artist and isolation in the wilderness, and performed a reading from my book Wilderness Survival - A Guide to the Aesthetics of Survivalism, published by Onomatopee (2015).
In the exhibition space there was a screening of the videowork Hermit (2019) and a presentation of new
works and aesthetic investigations of the materials collected during my 2-month residency at the secluded cabin at La Dépendance in St. Imier.
