The Mountain of Advanced Dreams is a research-based art project initiated by Mali Weil, critically focused on Interspecies Diplomacies, or on how to imagine different relationships with other living and non-living beings and territories. It layers philosophical, scientific, and speculative approaches with world-building elements and finds its narrative matrix in the two-channel video Rituals. Here the film is divided into three parts: three rituals structured around the themes of the body, language, devouring, death, and dreams.
Video, objects, performances, publications and a School of Interspecies Diplomacies and Werewolfish Studies—a nomadic platform for training and research on diplomatic practices—are all part of a worlding process aimed at devising fictional spaces capable of bridging past and future, diverse theories, practices, and disciplines, functioning as legal experiments for new ecologies.

Mali Weil
Mali Weil ist eine künstlerische Plattform in Südtirol (IT), die von Elisa Di Liberato, Lorenzo Facchinelli und Mara Ferrieri gegründet wurde. Sie entwickelt eine erweiterte performative Forschung, die sich mit den Räumen und Ausdrucksformen politischer Imagination in Bezug auf ökologische Fragestellungen auseinandersetzt. Ihre visuelle Praxis reicht von Performance über Produkt- und spekulatives Design bis hin zu Redaktion und Film. Darüber hinaus arbeitet sie mit offenen und partizipativen Setups, die als Plattformen für Diskussion und Austausch dienen.
