Orientation provides us with a notion of the world around us. The arts-based research "On Orientation" investigates orientation as an activity, an experience, that is neither fixed nor given: an active composing (gardening) of our being-in-the-world.

Assuming a non-anthropocentric view of the world, the research team has been exploring different systems of composition, set-up eight fitted sculptures as tools, spanning the course of more than two years in the public spaces of Tokyo, London and Vienna. They entered a dialogue with colleagues and artists to question the idea of identity as well as the relationship of subject and object in the field of care and relationship, autonomy and dependence.
