| Summary: | In this essay, I make a case for transversal writing as a method for artistic re search. I use transversal to describe a writing entity that is capable of shifting across media and disciplines, while remaining open for critical reflection. This method is akin to a metamodel, a model not confined to defining itself to the exclusion of other models. Rather, it serves as a heuristic tool for re flecting on how we proceed in an artistic research inquiry.
My inquiry is located in the fields of artist’s film and video, ficto critical writing, and performance. I begin by shortly positioning artistic research as an intentional and original search for new knowledge, with the inherent value of radical openness. I introduce a metamodel for transversal writing, which encompasses but goes beyond the film essay tradition. The hybrid forms of essayistic film and fictocritical writing are shown to carry a common interest in radical openness, turning them into sites of new knowledge. Through a link with performative writing, the concept of the event completes my metaphor of writing from the milieu.
In conclusion, I propose a diagram and a narrative reflection on the making of the artwork seeds of degrowth, whose production is a site of my research.
