It seems we do not only need to look for the environmental issues of the nature, that supports us, but we also need a new measurement for the well being and health of our-selfs, questioning our limits, for a new vision of human values. In some way we would need a perspective out of the box, as we seem to be double bound in social and economical conflicts. 23\u00b0 offers a first step this vaster perspective. A gold plated bar bings the unvisitable angle of the axis in the foreground. \n\nIn the current climate change debate, we also look at the different 'climatic zones' of the earth and the cycle of the seasons, which is based on the slope of the Earth's axis. This inclination is about 23 \u00b0.\n\nThe project 23 \u00b0 takes these physical conditions as a cause of a visualization, creating a super tool to acupuncture the injured earth. A gilded tube anchored in the ground tilts at an angle of 23 \u00b0 to the floor of the environment. \n\nThe French philosopher Bruno Latour calls in his book \"down to earth\" a new relationship between man and the earth. For Latour, the planet is not a collection of material but to be regarded as a separate being, which in turn is to be regarded as the basis of life. \"You belong to the ground, it belongs to nobody.\"\n\nthe artwork will reshape our focus to be understand our selfs as part within nature, rather then nature in service for us.","space":"Now, at the beginning of a new decade, The Bienal Sur takes place at a significant time when civilizations, countries and individuals engage in the questioning process of the system of values they inherited, to gain the right to write history by themselves. The project shall create a new landmark for the people to reboot their narratives of the globe, and in best cases the work 23\u00b0 would be realized at several destinations\/ Museums\/ areas at the same time to illustrate connection and freedom.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":5,"names":"Marc","surname":"Schmitz","email":"marc.schmitz.studio@gmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"C3JTXCHY8","address":"Hohenfriedbergstr. 3, 10829 Berlin, Germany","city":"Berlin","nacionality":"German","country_id":"61","birthdate":"1963-03-18T23:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1963-03-18T23:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+491796868386","web":"www.marcschmitz.net"}
