Elke Mark researches sensory knowledge, thinking in movement, concepts of memory and dialogue, with a focus on performance and (processual) object art. Her methodology is based on a processual happening with precise perception and accurate observations of the environment. Video elements, objects, photographs, drawings and performances condense into spatial productions in which the fragile traces of the presence of the past in the now are traced.
„The more I succeed in understanding plans, ideas and concepts that have been well thought through as a mere framework, in putting them aside when a performance begins, when I start to work intently, and to allow intuition and chance encounter to carry me along from one moment to the next, the closer I feel to unintended actions – a form of working that allows scope for the unthought, creates scope for unfurling processes that evolve unpredictably, processes which I follow and accompany. A knowledge that opens itself up to anyone moving attentively, that finds potential in encounter. My horizons broaden, extend all around me, meet with points of intersection, resistance and centers of attraction in space and in my activities. If I succeed in following the rhythm, in finding the tune, in taking it up and developing it, a powerful coherence unfolds, one that both attracts and includes the viewer – unintentionally.”
