Dear viewer, dear listener, We are writing this letter to you from the past, our present, and we wonder what you, the viewer, the listener, will see that day in the near future. We are asking ourselves, if we have enough time, are we a theatre, are we an installation, where will you be sitting, or lying, are we making you fall asleep or keeping your eye-opened attention.
For a brief period, many portals are opened: to a home and things that belong there, into the sea, to someone’s skin, through the soundscape and the light of the projectors, we guide the viewer into the time and space of imagination.
Now, we all are in that space (whatever it became) we kind of know, and we are curious how you will be feeling afterwards.
When you think of space and the image, you may have certain expectations. How will the image fit into the space? And how am I going to fit there? Our space will be moving in time and in place. We want you to not know where the next act will start. Is there a linearity, or is this a collection of starts and endings? Does the space have an ending, or is it starting something new? The portals at times open collectively, at times they are experiences created for one person at a time.
We guide you through appearing projections or voices, so in these few hours you go through the expansion of light, image and sound. Read anything you want into what you will see, this is a living “book” with shuffled pages.
Then the portals close.
