The Blue Sky Summer Dream!!!

Only that which could first be concealed appears. Things already recognized, quietly similar things never appear. They are apparent, certainly but only apparent: they never yield themselves as appearing.’ George Didi-Huberman (Phasma)

The proposed project will explore issues of ‘appearance and concealment’ within the framework of a ‘day time’ and ‘night time’ dream. It will transform an installation as a visual art form into temporal stage of a theatre. The collaborative team will have the opportunity to create an environment for a narrative of a performative action within this ephemeral landscape of dreams. Text by George Didi-Huberman, ‘Phasma’ and issues of ephemeral & permanent and visible & invisible will be central to the main idea of the project.

We will work cross the disciplines and assume a multimedia approach during the process. The concepts of ‘appearance and concealment’ will compliment the ideas of day-time and night-time dreams by means of their ephemeral nature. While the text will act as grounds for the stage structure, the dreams will guide in development of an imaginative narrative of the performance. The production will include, but will not be limited to collecting writings, design of the stage, fabrication of sculptural structures (sets designed as projection screens with use of fabric as a primary medium), developing video projections in combination with the context of the art-performance and other activities. Each new activity will be introduced, workshops and presentations held accordingly to the age group of the participating students and progress of the involved group.
