Wheel of Radical Affection
Premiered 11th of June 2021, Cyprus
An orbit around a field of dynamic synergy. Collective pulses as a common ground re-shaping matter in the body whilst inquiring what pulses in & in-between us. Meeting states of vitality as a form of resistance in an attempt to lubricate dried dreams & tune into every form of transformative domain. The image landscape shifts as people weave friction reality & fiction, mobilizing an archive of images, experiences & sensations that modulate & re-build the phenomenon of “now”. Challenging edges of participation, while updating the relations present in the space [ visible & invisible].
