„rapidly changing images with eyes closed are not as exciting as rapidly changing images with eyes opened“ (Tanja Sljivar)
…and I want to remember all your shapes is a diary of trippers and sitters reenacting their journey after a pseudo-psychadelic trip. Time got extended and an hour became one day. Sitters as caretakers and trippers as voyagers are guided by the provider through the trip and through elastic time. The wish to become “wise in the ways of plants”* required a bad trip. Having a common hallucination requires a decision of taking drugs together. The journey in horizontal choreography applies principles of permaculture where being in spiral constellations enables to face all the particles of the circle. Junkey and curandera. Pre- tripping with you as a guide, an observer and a poet.
*verse from Magic Mushroom ritual chant by Maria Sabina – mexican curandera a healer who introduced a psychedelic notions to the western world
