Our project is on the razor edge between poetry, science and science fiction.
We enquire anxieties and expetations of humanity in these days of uncertainty.
We explore the collective subconscius and it’s relationship with the earth, the geodesic energies and the human settlements.
Our attempt is to represent with scientific and creative tools the collective dreamspaces across two continents, one at the antipod of the other.
“Back to the Antipods“ is a reminder that if we want to give a chanche to human being to live in this planet we should go back to our roots which are deeply connected to the heart of the planet and to the heart of our subconscius.
“Back to the Antipods” means that we are all interwoven and what happens in New Zealand is not disconnected from what happens in Europe, both on a physical and on a psychical level.
With our project we are going to harvest dreams from the collective subconscious fields in Italy and in New Zealand.
We will choose two different areas and we will focus on the ancient and contemporary human settlements. We want to enquire the etrurian aereas (the former inabhitants of Italy 3000 centuries ago) in relationship with the original indigenous settlements in New Zealand
To harvest dreams we will use different means: interviews, private audio-box, websites, social networks, private recordings
In the second step we’ll analyze the collected dreams to find recurrency of words, actions and elements.
With the data estrapolated from the analysis of dreams we’ll create one or more tableau vivant to be filmed: the tableau vivant are animated postcards from the dreamscapes.
At the same time we are going to draw territorial map in GIS environment of the two locations that we choosed for harvesting dreams.
In the maps we are going to underline the dream-sources areas (the places from which the dreams arise) with a particolar attention to the distribution of different topics in dreams.
The outcome of the work will be a multimedia installation (video-audio-text) which will show the process of collecting data and the final visualization of data (maps and tableau vivant).
