The research cluster Stoffwechsel – Ecologies of Collaboration visited the ZAD Notre-Dame-des-Landes in May this year. This place has become a symbol of the struggle for new relationships with the land, which emerged from the resistance against a planned major airport in the northwest of Nantes. We visited this legendary French laboratory for alternative and autonomous forms of life that are developing a kind of new common in queer plurality. From our encounters, discussions, walks and collaboration on this 4000-hectare territory, we collected sound and language impressions that show our digestion, learning and reflection. In the T.A.R. (Temporary Autonomous Region) by Futurama.Lab at the Nordwestbahnhof festival area of the Klima Biennale Wien 2024, these sound fragments will be heard as a multi-channel sound installation and create speculative connections between real and imaginary autonomous zones.
Realized by Im_flieger as part of Stoffwechsel – Ecologies of Collaboration. In cooperation with Futurama.Lab.

Anita Kaya (AT) born 1961, is a freelance choreographer, performer and curator living in Vienna. Under the label OYA-Produktion (1988-2005) she created dance productions, site-specific performances, performative installations and dance videos that were presented internationally. In 2000, she initiated the artists for artists initiative Im_flieger – research laboratory for dance, performance and transmedia art (Concept funding from the City of Vienna 2022-25). In artistic direction and in collaboration with numerous artists and theoreticians, she develops new concepts and structures of artistic cooperation and mentoring programmes: e. g. the European residency programme for young choreographers TERRAINS FERTILES 05 (Innovation Prize 2005 of IG-Kultur Vienna). She is engaged with the body as a reservoir of individual and collective memory, and its potential for communication with the environment, the human and more than human: e. g. Translocations / One-to-One Performance located at the intersection of history/trauma, archiving, installation and performance. 2023 she cooperates with Theatercombinat/ Claudia Bosse as performer/ choreographer in the production Bones & Stones. In 2019/20 she completed the university course “Curating in the Scenic Arts” at the University of Salzburg and Munich. She is co-editor and author of the publication VISCERAL FICTION – Im_flieger schreibt Geschichte/s – 20 Jahre Künstler:innen für Künstler:innen. 2021, monocrom. www.imflieger.net, www.stffwchsl.net

Since 2013, she has been working with Mongolian and Austrian artists and scientists on the research project Alga Bolokh – On Disappearance in Ulan Bator, the Gobi Desert and Berlin. Alga Bolokh deals with threatened places and spaces, with the untold and the invisible. www.claudiaheu.com
Kilian Jörg (AT) works both artistically and philosophically on the topic of ecological catastrophe and how its transformative forces can best be imagined and deployed. Previous publications have been on club culture, the political backlash from an ecological perspective, cultivating distance in catastrophic times and a speculative religion of waste. His current research topics are the car as a metaphor for our toxic entanglements with modern lifestyles (released in book form as “Das Auto und die ökologische Katastrophe” in September 2024), the socio-psychological effects of living with ecocide and radical activist strategies of reclaiming land like the ZAD in France. He is working with the Futurama.Lab at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and is affiliated to the SFB Affective Societies at the FU Berlin. www.kilianj.org & www.kilianjoerg.blogspot.com
