Camilla Schielin
into (quickening ground)
At a time when we have come accustomed to encounter images and people, history as well as the banal, simply as fleeting parts of a continuous downstream, Camilla Schielin points to the flip side of this so-called timeline. Not only do new and seemingly important things get lost – but things we had forgotten are inclined to make a “ghostly return”. One example is “Tecktonik”, a dance style that was developed in the 2000s in France and enjoyed a short period of popularity on YouTube: Schielin rescues it from oblivion, using it as a tool to work herself deeper into the eponymous quickening ground. An impressive solo between collective memory and biography, embodiment and virtuality.
