On potentialities / reservoirs
2022
A project developed in the framework of the Swiss Artistic Research Network (SARN) Conference 2022 «Traversing Topologies».
In the 1940s, Swiss electricity producers planned a large-scale hydropower project in the Urseren valley. The dam would have flooded the valley up to the height of 1630 meter above sea level – the three villages Andermatt, Realp and Hospental would have submerged in the reservoir. On February 19, 1946, villagers escorted a responsible engineer involuntarily out of the valley over the Devil’s Bridge to Göschenen. This is known as the «Riot Night of Andermatt». Among other things, this brought the hydropower project to an end.
Electricity per se is invisible and thus cannot be experienced, but its production has material echoes in our landscapes. To gain engagement for an energy transition and renewable energy plants in alpine regions, perception of these structures must be rendered tangible and energy futures must be re-imagined beyond what is currently understood as possible. This calls for embodied, affective and aesthetic practices and methods.
«On potentialities / reservoirs» uses auditory speculative storytelling to create a realm of past and future possibilities alongside the present reality. One of the anthropological purposes for storytelling is «mental rehearsal», thus can practicing imagining past possibilities be of use for imagining future potentialities?
