dimensions of dialogue
This project is a performative installation, where guided interactions happen as visitors of the exhibition enter the space.
It is a game of trust in a meeting ritual.
Connecting without spoken language, intuitively creating a common sense with plant-like tentacles and other sensory tools. Confronting one self with an incomprehensible other.
Variations of sensory tools

sending paper masks to feel the surface of the wooden walls
The project Dimensions of Dialogue was also practiced together with people with autism who live together in a healthcare institute.
During my visits to the healthcare institute, I was inspired by the expression "Blind lead the blind" as a metaphor for uncertainty and the subtle boundary between different normalities. During the practices I especially wanted to investigate the relationship between "patient" and "doctor" . By letting them work together with the sensory tools we made an attempt to break barriers.
