Video installation
Das Leben findet seinen Weg is an immersive video and sound installation rooted in the Pampas del Zonda research station in the Andes Mountains. This work functions as a transdisciplinary bridge between Land Art and scientific inquiry, centered on site-specific sculptures that act as functional shelter for regional biodiversity.
The installation processes non-invasive visual records and environmental information — captured by solar-powered systems — into a generative sensory experience. The work documents how these structures promote life in extreme climates, transforming the station into an active tool for ecological awareness. This project is a collaboration between art and science, supported by the Akademie der Künste, Stiftung Kunstfonds, and the National Museum of Fine Arts (MNBA), with scientific backing from CONICET and UNSJ. By fusing organic materiality with the pulse of the landscape, Das Leben findet seinen Weg captures the hidden resilience of an ecosystem where life persistently finds its way.
Charly Nijensohn is a transmedia artist and researcher focused on the convergence of biological processes, Land Art, and environmental monitoring systems. Through the project “Regeneration Strategies,” Nijensohn develops functional installations that operate as experimental observation nodes in extreme environments. Their practice is characterized by translating field recordings into immersive multi-channel experiences, redefining the human connection to the Earth through the lens of ecological resilience and architectural survival.
Their work is supported by prestigious institutions such as the Akademie der Künste (Berlin), Stiftung Kunstfonds, and the National Museum of Fine Arts (MNBA). Collaborating with UNSJ and CONICET (National Scientific and Technical Research Council), their research-based art bridges high-altitude mountain geographies with contemporary international platforms. They currently focus on the development of zoogenic refugia and autonomous research nodes, exploring how art can actively foster the regeneration of landscapes.
