One Body of Water
VISION
We perceive water as one single, large body – a body of water that circulates through the atmosphere, the earth and through all life forms, connecting organic with inorganic.
The body of water is in constant motion and transformation, dynamically transmitting information and active forces to all interconnected vessels and waterways.
This vision of interconnectedness of ONE BODY OF WATER stands in contrast to anthropocentric visions of separateness, or notions of control and dominance. The association aims to make the vision of interconnectedness the guiding principle for action and thus for the creation of new realities.
ABOUT
ONE BODY OF WATER was founded in 2022 by the Swiss photographer and artist Regina Hügli in Vienna, Austria. The association serves impulses and projects that advocate a respectful and sustainable treatment of water, and create awareness for the fundamental interconnectedness of all lifeforms.
Regina Hügli has been working on the topic of water with great commitment since 2013. She has realized a large number of projects, exhibitions, events and publications. Through her engagement with water, her way of working has changed. Increasingly, she works in collaborations, networks, fostering multidisciplinary exchange.
“I am a dedicated observer of water. I am fascinated by its appearance, its behaviour, its properties. Water is the basis of all life – and an element offering powerful experiences to our bodies and minds like tranquility, flow and rhythm, transformation and renewal, thus making tangible various qualities of time and consciousness.
Observing water has a great impact on my personal approach. My fascination with the element has also heightened my awareness of the responsibility we have to water and life – expressing itself in an increasingly activist and social dimension of my projects.”
