About this exposition

This artistic research exposition unfolds the collaborative work on the violin, electronics and video work Solastalgia, from the viewpoint of violinist Karin Hellqvist. Solastalgia is created together with composer Carola Bauckholt and video artist Eric Lanz. During the process, Hellqvist develops the concept of the artistic palette, helping her understand her agency and creativity as a performer. Through sharing materials and reflections from within the artistic process, Hellqvist describes the new work methods that emerge and how they affect the roles of composer and performer. Focus is directed toward ownership, safe space, resources and eco-anxiety. The work’s title is an homage to environmental philosopher Glenn Albrecht’s neologism solastalgia, describing existential distress connected to environmental change. Theory on collaborative composition situate the reflections in the research field that includes Alan Taylor’s typology of working relationships and Lydia Goehr’s concept of Werktreue.
