Contribution long abstract:

In my presentation, I will examine the underwater landscape of an island in the south-western archipelago of Finland and one of its wrecks in the context of the cultural cycle. What kind of encounters did the peasant culture and the rococo luxury goods of the bypassing East-West trade route through this archipelago in the 17th century create? These encounters and their existence can be viewed as a cyclical process of knowledge and experience through, for example, Foucault's heterotopia and Lefebvre's rhythmic analysis.

I start with a story that has been told by islanders for centuries. It is familiar to me because I have lived on the island. But what do I really remember, what have I observed, what have I imagined?

I will examine the wrecks circulations of knowledge in my presentation with the help of a poetry video. I will challenge the relationship between scientific knowledge, artistic approach, memory and perception as part of the production and transmission of knowledge about the wreck.

I also invite the listeners of my poetry video and my narrative to settle into the moment of gesture and glimpse, and to live their own line in their own handwriting to be inspired by the moment my poetry video conveys of a maritime disaster that happened centuries ago. During my presentation, I will guide the audience through a moment of asemic poetry.
