PARTICIPATORY INSTALLATION FOR KULTURNATTEN (2021)

INTRUCTIONS:

DEAR FELLOW HUMAN BEING,

I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO SIT WITH ANOTHER FELLOW HUMAN BEING IN PAIRS OF TWO.

FIRST OF ALL, SETTLE IN YOUR SEAT AND LOOK AT YOUR FELLOW HUMAN BEING.

FEEL YOUR BODY AND JUST GET USED TO JUST BEING IN THAT SPACE. CAN YOU PICK UP ANY SENSATIONS IN YOUR BODY?

DOES ANY OF YOU HAVE A PHONE WITH ENOUGH BATTERY? IF YES, SET A TIMER FOR TWO MINUTES AND LOOK EACH OTHER IN THE EYE FOR THAT TIME.

TAKE A DEEP BREATH AFTER. IS THERE OTHER SENSATIONS YOU CAN PICK UP IN YOUR BODY? YOU MAY CHOOSE TO SHARE THIS WITH EACH OTHER OR NOT.

SET THE TIMER AGAIN FOR 2 MINUTES AND BREATHE TOGETHER. INHALE AND EXHALE DEEPLY FROM YOUR BELLY AND SEE IF YOU CAN SYNC IN WITH EACH OTHER’S BREATHING. WHAT SENSATIONS DO YOU PICK UP IN YOUR BODY? OBSERVE SIMPLY.

SET THE TIMER AGAIN FOR 3 MINUTES EACH TAKING TURNS AND ANSWER THE QUESTION: WHAT IS HOME FOR YOU?

SET TIMER FOR 2 MINUTES AND LOOK AT EACH OTHER IN THE EYE FOR THAT TIME.

WRITE A SHORT LETTER AND PUT IT IN AN ENVELOP AND GIVE IT TO YOUR FELLOW HUMAN BEING STANDING IN FRONT OF YOU.

OFFER A GESTURE OF GRATITUDE AND SAY GOODBYE.

YOUR HOST SALL LAM TORO
