Followed by a group conversation hosted by Ester M. Bergsmark and Anna Zett

The performative film screening voice under is an invitation to bring your body to the cinema: to listen with your eyes, to see with your back, to respond to the screen with the felt sense of your own experience. Here, filmmaker Ester M. Bergsmark will present a shorter version of this transdisciplinary work, which consists of three parts: film screening, board game and meditation. Focusing on the spine and our peripheral nervous system, the performance puts into question our frontal cerebral sense of orientation, creating space for positive uncertainty and porous narratives about queer deep time, threat, dissociation, and reconnection. 

Afterwards Ester M. Bergsmark will be joined by artist and occasional curator Anna Zett to host an embodied sensory assembly together. After a short dialogue, they will open the space for a group association rooted in, but not at all limited to, a shared sense of silence. Drawing on psychoanalytic groups and meditation, the artists will invite the participants to listen to their physical hearts and co-create a mindful atmosphere of free association.
