Présentation

What and how can connectedness and affection for the natural world make a difference? Ruth Buck seeks out new branching paths on cutting-edge topics. The body (embodiment) is an elementary part of artistic processes and field research.  With a variety of actions, gestures and approaches, she creates immersive art experiences from different perspectives, media and materials. This allows the audience to discover empathy for diverse topics. It is essential to create situations that can open up sensitivity.
