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 is an artistic platform established by Elisa Di Liberato, Lorenzo Facchinelli and Mara Ferrieri, based in South Tyrol (IT). She develops an expanded performative research that investigates the spaces and modes of disclosure of political imagination, on ecological issues. Her visual production ranges from performance to product and speculative design, from editorial to film, but she also works through open and participatory set ups as platforms for discussion and exchange.
