1.0 video <p>The World is a Womb, the Forest is a Vessel is a short film that explores lost connections and the unraveling of ties—resembling an endless braiding. The narrative focuses on reconnecting with mountains, lands, and spirits, engaging with them as personified ancestral entities. Through the lens of language, the film also examines the experience of unwilling disconnection, whether influenced by external historical factors or displacement.</p><p>The World is a Womb, the Forest is a Vessel is an invocation to reflect on these slumbering bonds, in order to awaken an altered way of being in a multispecies world.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Note from the curatorial team:</strong><br />The Rietveld TV 23/24 curatorial team invited Nomin Zezegmaa (Fine Arts, 2020)<br />to explore the theme of 'The Third Skin’ for the December 2023 episode.<br />Zezegmaa’s body of work revolves around intricate relationships between<br />humans and the non-human. Zezegmaa was specially chosen for this theme<br />due to her fresh perspective on the interplay between humanity and the<br />natural world. Acting as a mediator between herself and different entities, she<br />navigates various layers of interconnection with the earth through shamanic<br />gaze, drawing inspiration from her heritage and employing ritualistic<br />practices.</p><p>This episode was produced for the RietveldTV season 23/24: The Third Skin.</p><p><br />The RietveldTV curatorial team 23/34 were: Feliz Aaliyah Sanchez Buitrago (Fashion), Mayya Kuznetsova (Fine Arts), Jiyeon Izzy Lee (VAV - moving image) and Karolina Hyun Wilting (VAV - moving image). </p><p><br />Coordinators: Rabea Ridlhammer and Vere van Hal (Public &amp; Projects).</p> https://vod.salto.nl/img/2026/02/13/698f1814aac3080013301b7c_poster_1.png 1280 720 1280 720 <iframe src="https://vod.salto.nl/embed/3vQfED754QOeoeOIQK22oe" width="1280" height="720" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Salto Player https://vod.salto.nl
