2014 I begun a practice I called “Lecturing to blueberries”. I had been thinking a lot about the role of teaching and lecturing and how I felt like it was as a way of listening. I never managed to give the same lecture twice. New things always invaded my planned talk and took it in different directions. Depending on who was listening or how the space was arranged, the talk turned out differently. I decided to affirm this as a possibility, to make use of it as a way of listening to attention. So when developing my thoughts and teaching on animation and ecology, I went about by walking through forests and attempting at lecturing about animation for various ecosystem inhabitants I felt invited by. 
One day when I left my family and walked into the forest I found some beautiful blueberry bushes. I sat down I tried to come up with something to tell it. But the berries distracted me with temptation. Since my childhood I have desired bluberries. I always want more. I loose track of time when I pick them. I squeeze and open a berry, it reveals concentrated pigment and lots of small seeds. I eat it.
And then I felt the urge to tell the blueberries about Susan Pitts film “Asparagus”. The ”phalic shapes” of asparaguses in that film was interpreted as metaphors and symbols for male human sexual organs. But I feel like it is rather an exploration of sexuality in relation to the natural world. In the light of current materialist philosophies or ecosexual movements, the asparaguses in the film could be read as themselves and not metaphorse. Is it possible to sexually desire plants and nature? Some experimental scientists suggest that fruits are the sexual organs of plants, and eating fruit contributed in the evolution of the human mind as much as other sexual activities. Is eating berries a sort of oral sex with a plant? part of a reproductive symbiotic activity between plant and animal? That evening when I got home I change my two year olds diapers. The poop was black and filled with seeds. She too had spent her day in the blueberry bushes. When interacting with the human body the seed fertilize themselves in this mutual exchange.

I continued lecturing to mosquitoes, waterdrops, mushrooms, pines. A red thread emerged, it turned into the essay Being Animated, The animated loop Wolf Wind, Stone Shudder and the paintings Greening Cells and Reding Cells.
