TEA, 2014
An ongoing series of performance ceremonies, 2-4 hours each
Various settings in Switzerland and Iceland
It's about having a conscious moment (or two) with guests.
Each performance is different and developed for a specific time, place and group of people. Sometimes I work with other artist - actually, every guest becomes a collaborating artist. Together we have experimented, given performances, exhibited light, recited poetry, played games, solved riddles, sat in silence, philosophized, made music, told stories, worn masks, removed masks, discovered destiny... and I have at least tried to brew a good pot of tea.
