DREAMING WITH STONES, 2024
๐๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฎ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ธ๐ช๐ต๐ฉ ๐๐ต๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ด is an immersive sound and film installation for more-than-human magic making. In the practice of social dreaming, dreams exist as independent entities with agency, seeking a dreamer to express themselves through. As dreams experience our reality, they materialise into being.
Referencing the Tsukumogami - Japanese objects that become liberated and animated by spirit after 100 years of service - stones are formed from fossilised dreams created when dreams have visited dreamers for 10,000 years.
Sound: Spoken word and composition made from biodata frequencies and field recordings of volcanic rock pools and meteorite.
Film: ย Ales Stenar, Sweden and Stanton Drew stone circle, UK
This installation premiered at The Conference, Malmรถ, Sweden 2024.
Versions of it have since been performed at the ICA London and the Barbican.
