Abstract

This dictionary entry defines ‘immanence’ by locating multiple forests within Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre in Glasgow. This theatre is an assemblage of the multiple sites encountered by sculptormechanic Eduard Bersudsky as he navigated the spaces of making and exhibiting art in Soviet Russia as a non-conformist artist. He occupied the spaces created by the regime and through his occupation he transformed the functions of the space, and through that changed his subjective states as well. This
entry establishes immanence as the secret sylvan force that gradually released the multiple subjective states of the artist into his work, turning it into a lived-work. It further locates immanence as seeds that have been planted as assembled internal landscapes in the theatre. An encounter with this immanence transforms the visitor into a fellow sylvizen.
