What if there was a place where you could think your own thought like staring at a rainbow after a summer storm. In an empty space a cloud is hovering, embedded in a spectra of colours. In his newest performance Jan Fedinger clears the stage of all traces of human performers to create an environment of experiences. An environment to focus your thoughts. Where instead of being distracted by the everyday, we can start dreaming reality. In a society, pushing for productivity, we should evaluate what wealth is, …to us. What has value? What do we consider wealth? What is the nature of wealth? And where can we find wealth in our surrounding, in nature?
land[e]scapes 4 - is part of a series of immersive art works imagined by Jan Fedinger that investigate the relation of humankind with nature and the multiplicity of realities. The works are positioned between contemporary forms of theatre / performance and visual art while drawing aesthetics from classical landscape art. The series investigates the performativity of environments while aiming to create the circumstances for a poetic experience inspired by nature. land[e]scapes follows in the tradition of landscape-art, showing natural environments disconnected from their context. Aiming to preserve existing natural phenomena for future generations. Imagining future nature for a contemporary audience to reflect on the impact they have on their surrounding. land[e]scapes follows in the tradition of electronic arts, exploring electronic environments that are now common but used to be called future when we were young.
Jan Fedinger is a visual artists who’s principle tool of choice is light. He is known for his lighting designs for performances of Jan Martens, Aitana Cordero, Jefta van Dinther, Daniel Linehan and others, where the light becomes a bodily presence. In Jans autonomous work human performers are replaced by agents of light, sound and space, that create environments of experiences. Environments that question the real and realities alike.
we have not seen the world if we have not dreamt what we were seeing.

Hva om det fantes et sted der du kunne tenke dine tanker på samme måte som du ser en regnbue etter en sommerstorm. En sky svever i et tomt rom, integrert i et spekter av farger.
I sin nyeste forestilling fjerner Jan Fedinger alle spor av menneskelige aktører for å skape et opplevelseslandskap. Et sted for å fokusere tanker. Der man istedenfor for å bli distrahert av hverdagen, kan begynne å drømme virkeligheten. I et samfunn som dyrker produktivitet, er det nå tid for å evaluere hva rikdom er, ...for oss. Hva er det vi regner som verdifullt? Hva er rikdom? Og hva er dens natur? Og hvor i vår omgivelse kan vi skape denne rikdommen - i naturen?
land(e)scapes 4 - er del av en serie fordypende kunstneriske prosesser av Jan Fedinger som undersøker forholdet mellom menneske og natur og mangfoldet av virkeligheter. Arbeidet ligger mellom samtidsteater/performance og visuell kunst, samtidig som det også lånes fra klassisk landart - en serie undersøkelser av omgivelsenes performativitet samtidig som man ønsker å skape et miljø for poetisk opplevelse. land(e)scapes er skapt “i landart tradisjon” og viser omgivelser tatt ut av sin naturlige kontekst. Forestillingen ønsker på å ivareta eksisterende naturlige fenomener for fremtidige generasjoner. Iscenesette fremtidens natur til et samtidig publikum for å reflektere over innvirkningen menneskene har på sine omgivelser. I tillegg følger land(e)scapes i fotsporene til elektronisk kunst og utforsker elektroniske elementer som i dag er vanlige, men som da vi var unge ble kalt “fremtiden”.
Jan Fedinger er en visuell kunstner med lys som hovedverktøy. Han er kjent for sin lysdesign i performancene til Jan Martens, Aitana Cordero, Jefta van Dinther, Daniel Linehan og andre og kjennetegnes ofte ved at lys får en kroppslig tilstedeværelse. I Jans selvstendige verk er menneskelige aktører erstattet med lys, lyd, rom og objekter - som til sammen skaper et miljø for opplevelser. Opplevelser som bidrar til å sette spørsmålstegn ved både virkeligheter og det virkelige. Vi har ikke sett verden hvis vi ikke har drømt hva vi ser.
