What does a sleeping body-being become against the backdrop of a world that is lit 24 hours? What does this state of repose mean when there is no time to pause? What lullaby can we sing for another? How do we fall asleep (together)? How do we fall (together)? What and who is falling (with or without us)?
Moving nearby these questions, we will explore falling(s) through our own and one another’s bodies. We will be accompanied by I like to stay horizontal, a series of digital printed pillows. We will be guided by the pillow-bodies, our bodies and the multiplicity of bodies that we share the space with.
Some of the places we may find ourselves in: light / darkness, verticality / horizontality, activity / inactivity, visibility / invisibility, intensities of slowness, mutual support, tender vigilance and safe surfaces. There will be a particular attention to what is in-between and disrupts these given notions or categories and how they are embodied.
We will write and gather texts that emerge from our time together. These will be woven into Nite Gestures 10-11-2022-10-12-2022, an installation of LED text displays, which will illuminate fragments of the texts that slowly become denser over the course of the workshops and the exhibition. All contributors, unless they prefer to be anonymous, will be credited in the presentation and documentation of the process.
