Disco Planet: Letheia

Hen/i (US/DE), Do Mayer (DE)

The performance and video installation Disco Planet: Letheia takes a philosophical 3D landscape as backdrop to inquire into relations between plants, humans and animals, and their embeddedness in environment/society. An artistic twin of our symbolic mindscape meets the somatic practice of tuning into our senses to expand our capacity for change and adaptation. The common urge: To find new methods to situate ourselves in our time and reshape our habitual presentation of ourselves and the commonplace.
