I use the park as a prism for expanding the complex negotiation of ‘being’ in nature with phenomena based installations. I go into parks to ‘be there’ not to think about them; my experiences in these places are sensual, physical, and tactile. I view the park as a machine that organizes the body and accesses spaces in specific ways in order to consume experiences of being in nature. I believe these experiences are saturated in the ways that parks ‘think themselves’ through my body. I aim to articulate this body as an assemblage of forces: phenomena, materials, technologies, surfaces and boundaries, and their speeds and intensities. In my work, I respond to the park so we may be able to recover these forces and this politicized body as site of their emergence. by RobRee “negotiation”
