Margaret Cavendish was a 17th century philosopher and speculative fiction writer who understood nature to be intelligent. Nature, according to her, “is infinite matter, motion and figure creating all things out of itself, for of matter they are made, and by motion they are formed into several and particular figures.” Artist Isabel Cordeiro will take the specific interest in the material world present in Cavendish’s writings as the starting point for her residency period. She will consider the entire volume of the church and invite the HMK team, performers and the public to engage with motion, gravity and the materiality of the surroundings (the wood from the floors, the air in the building, the water that form the Markermeer and more) in suspension and on the ground, hanging upside down on harnesses that are also art works, and crawling through the floor; seeking to let bodies become figures with the environment.
