I Reindeer Safari<\/strong> deltager du, efter en grundig introduktion, i en vandretur p\u00e5 nogle timer, hvor du sammen med de andre deltagere f\u00f8lger rensdyrenes flok- og adf\u00e6rdsm\u00f8nstre – dog p\u00e5 2 ben! Da rensdyr er stille dyr betyder det, at du ikke m\u00e5 tale med de andre under vandringen – alligevel skal alle beslutninger om fx rute og hvilepauser tr\u00e6ffes i f\u00e6llesskab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I Reindeer Safari<\/strong> l\u00e5ner du dyrets blik og kan derfor se dine omgivelser anderledes end du plejer. Du f\u00e5r mulighed for at reflektere over, hvordan dyr og mennesker oplever og agerer i deres omgivelser. Hvordan ser et dyr p\u00e5 det landskab, du ser p\u00e5 til hverdag? Og hvordan bruger du egentlig dine sanser?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reindeer Safari<\/strong> er skabt af det finske kunstnerkollektiv Other Spaces<\/a>, og blev i 2011 h\u00e6dret som \u00e5rets \u201dEnvironmental Art Piece\u201d. Forestillingen har turneret i Europa, og var del af det officielle finske program i Biennalen i Venedig 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rensdyrene p\u00e5 bes\u00f8g i 2013 og 2014
\n<\/strong>Secret Hotel har haft forn\u00f8jelsen af at have bes\u00f8g af det finske kunstnerkollektiv Other Spaces to gange. F\u00f8rste gang i for\u00e5ret 2013 med vandringer b\u00e5de p\u00e5 Mols og i Vestereng, Aarhus og anden gang i september 2014 p\u00e5 Mols, hvor ops\u00e6tningen skete i samarbejde med Borgerscenen p\u00e5 Aarhus Teater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Efter turene talte deltagerne om deres oplevelser – nedenfor ses nogle af reaktionerne:
\n– “Jeg var overrasket over, hvor nemt det var at f\u00f8le hvor de andre i flokken var. Jeg f\u00f8lte mig sikker og tryg p\u00e5 trods af ikke at forst\u00e5 noget i begyndelsen.\u201d <\/em>
\n– “De f\u00f8rste to gr\u00e6sninger (pauser), var de lykkeligste \u00f8jeblikke i mit liv.\u201d <\/em>
\n– “En f\u00f8lelse af at g\u00e5 ind i noget, der var st\u00f8rre end mig selv – en ‘giv-slip’-tilstand. Der var bakker jeg kunne lide og bakker jeg ikke kunne lide.”<\/em>
\n– “Jeg f\u00f8lte mig sikker nok til at falde i s\u00f8vn (under gr\u00e6sning).”<\/em>
\n– “F\u00f8lte mig som en organisk del af gruppen, ikke som et individ \u2013 OG jeg kunne bev\u00e6ge mig efter mine egne behov samtidig med at v\u00e6re opm\u00e6rksom og f\u00f8le mig tryg. Jeg kunne m\u00e6rke flokken. En meget individuel oplevelse, men ogs\u00e5 en meget kollektiv oplevelse.”<\/em>
\n– “Der er pinlig tavshed og der er god tavshed \u2013 det m\u00e5ske st\u00e6rkeste \u00f8jeblik sammen var, da der igen blev tavshed efter vi havde snakket sammen ved bordet efter vandringens afslutning.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reindeer Safari<\/strong> har ogs\u00e5 modtaget reaktioner blandt medierne:
\nJP Aarhus<\/a> interviewede  performerne fra Other Spaces i Vestereng.
\nEbeltoft Folketidende<\/a> skrev en omtale af vandringsforestillingen
\nThe web art magazine kunsten.nu<\/a> skrev en artikel om at v\u00e6re rensdyr i Vestereng.
\nLotus&Skov<\/a>, blog om landskab og omgivelser, skrev ogs\u00e5 om deres oplevelse som flokdyr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reindeer Safari<\/strong> skabte ogs\u00e5 interesse indenfor akademiske kredse og blev unders\u00f8gt af studerende fra begivenhedskultur og \u00c6stestik & Kultur. L\u00e6s opgaverne her:

The 20th of September 2014 we once again offered Other Spaces’ <\/a>awardwinning walking performance Reindeer Safari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People were invited on an unusual nature walk in the hills of Mols. First a Finnish and humorous lecture on reindeers and then you go off with your herd, wandering as … a REINDEER! On two legs, without any red nose or antler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a thorough introduction to the movement patterns of reindeers and how they act as a herd, the participants forms their own herd and go out on a walk for some hours. There are rules to follow – for instance you must decide collectively where to go and when to rest without talking – as reindeers are quiet animals and very seldom make noises.
\nIn Reindeer Safari you are inspired by reindeers way of sensing the world and therefor you will sense your surroundings in a new way. We offer you the possibility to reflect on how humans and animals sense and act in their surroundings. How does an animal see the landscape you walk in everyday? And how do you normaly use your own senses?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reindeer Safari  in September 2014 are co-produced with Borgerscenen at Aarhus Teater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reindeer Safari is created by the Finnish art collective Other Spaces. In 2011 Reindeer Safari was elected \u201dEnvironmental Art Piece\u201d of the year. The performance has toured in  Europe, and was part of the Finnish pavillion at the Biennale of Venice 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reindeer 2013
\n<\/strong>In the spring of 2013 Secret Hotel invited the Finnish artist collective Other Spaces to perform their award winning walking performance \u201dReindeer Safari\u201d in Denmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reindeer Safari was succesfully performed twice \u2013 in the Mols Hills, and in Vestereng, Aarhus.
\nAfter the two walks the participants talked about their experiences \u2013 below some reactions –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– \u201cI was surprised how easy it was to feel where the others in the herd were. I felt safe and secure despite not understanding anything at the beginning.\u201d<\/em>
\n– \u201cThe first two grazings were the happiest moments in my life, being in nature.\u201d<\/em>
\n– \u201cFeeling like I was stepping into something bigger than myself. Very non-judgemental. A giving-up state. There were hills I liked and hills I did not like…\u201d<\/em>
\n– \u201cI felt safe enough to fall asleep (during grazing).\u201d<\/em>
\n– \u201cFelt as an organic part of the group, not an individual, PLUS moving according to my needs and being aware, feeling safe…? Feeling the herd. Very individual experience and very much a group experience.\u201d<\/em>
\n– \u201cThere is akward silence and good silence \u2013 perhaps the strongest moment together was being silent together at the table after the walk had ended and we had talked a bit.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reindeer Safari also received reactions among the media as several articles were written – in Danish –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JP Aarhus<\/a> interviewed the performers of Other Spaces at Vestereng.
\nEbeltoft Folketidende<\/a> wrote a teaser about the walking performance
\nThe web art magazine kunsten.nu<\/a> wrote an article about the her experience as a reindeer at Vestereng.
\nLotus&Skov<\/a>, a blog about surroundings and landscapes, also wrote about their experiences as reindeer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reindeer Safari was the subject of academic investigations. Read one of them here:
