The performance was based on materials from the Fieldworks archive, which Carlos Casas has been developing over the past 25 years in different parts of the world. During the performance, the artist combined images, field recordings and sounds from the surrounding environment in real time, transforming the collected materials into a constantly evolving audiovisual composition.

The "Fieldworks" project explores the relationship between people and the environment and examines changes taking place in landscapes and ecosystems. Its key themes include desertification, climate change, species loss and the transformation of natural areas.

A distinctive feature of the performance is its presentation of the landscape not merely as a visual image, but as a living system that can be experienced through sound, imagery, memory and direct presence. Materials collected in diverse geographical and ecological settings are brought together in a single space, creating a unique sensory map of the environment.

In this way, art becomes a means of reflecting on environmental processes and offers a new perspective on the changes taking place in nature. The audiovisual format allows audiences not only to observe landscapes, but also, in a sense, to “hear” them and experience their dynamism and fragility.

The event was organized by ARTepa Gallery at Green University and Art Station in collaboration with the DAVRA research collective, with the support of the National Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan for Ecology and Climate Change and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), within the framework of the Central Asia Art and Culture Programme (CAACP) and the project Art Station: Crossroads of Freedom of Expression, Artistic Creativity, Inclusive Dialogue and Community Development.

Carlos Casas is an artist and filmmaker whose work lies at the intersection of cinema, visual art, sound and environmental research. His practice focuses on landscapes, ecosystems and the changes taking place within them, drawing on documentary materials, field recordings and a range of audiovisual forms.

For many years, Casas has conducted direct field research in places undergoing natural and human-induced change, transforming the materials he collects into artistic projects that offer new ways of understanding the relationship between people and nature.
