Laura Haak

Laura Haak is an artist currently completing her studies in scenography and exhibition design at  Karlsruhe University of arts and design. During her dance, somatics and performance studies at the ISLO Institute in Joensuu, Eastern Finland, she developed her love for mires and her interest in questions of hierarchy in spatial perception.

The question of how our perception of surroundings and our small gestures and material practices affect the larger scale of how we deal with land, guided her in creating her diploma exhibition about a moorland region in north-eastern Germany. Through a tangible theatrical landscape installation fusing video and paludi materials, she once again explored the lingering not yet answered question of how the landscape can become the protagonist.
