Exactly at the moment we participated in the residency dedicated to Vincent van Gogh, climate activists from "Just Stop Oil" attacked his work Sunflowers at the National Gallery, London UK. In response, we performed 10 Geoseances in the natural environment around Van Gogh's birthplace. The landscape where Vincent walked and about which he wrote beautiful letters on nature. In GeoSeances (2022), we present a comprehensive exploration of the significance of Vincent van Gogh's signature. Through digital appropriation, we projected his signature from the painting Sunflowers (1888) onto the landscape, reviving a seemingly forgotten connection between his signature and nature.
