Video Installation
Duration: 17 min


The installation consists of a blue projection directed on a translucent linen fabric hanging in the middle of the room. As the blue emanates on the linen it creates a light sculpture on the wall. Perpendicular to the linen is a small flat screen adjacent to a larger video projection facing the linen frontally.

The 2 channel videos documents testimonials from 2 healers, residents of Pirinópolis in Midwest Brazil. They openly share their complex understanding of healing through plants. Their knowledge offers a door that penetrates a seemingly mysterious or impenetrable modus operandi existent in Nature. This gateway is grounded in a pragmatic and systematic day-to-day way of existing in the world to the healers; although still admitting to further unknown facets of their Art.
