Melioration, machines, and a milk pipeline have left more
than 600 barns in the Valsertal to the marmots – having lost
their once full-time jobs of housing hay, sleeping children, and
grunting animals. These unemployed structures have taken up
sheltering of a different order, their lower bellies now home to
spare parts and extra materials, their untended roofs becoming
mountain mineral restaurants for moss and lichen. The
barns, now moonlight as stoic empty icons, yet offer a host of
possibilities. Practice research attunes to their specific
rhythms by making with them as a process of growing, of
listening, of touching, of dancing, of barning. This book
embodies Lisa Lee Benjamin’s practice, curation, and
dwelling in the village of Vals, in Canton Graubu¨nden.
