⚫️ DREAMS ROUTES. Audiovisual performance

DREAMS ROUTES. Audiovisual performance by Anna Priakhina and Alexander Leonov

The work was done in the framework of the Lost and Found dreams Laboratory (supported by the Barents Bird festival).
We created sound taken from the context of the surrounding world.
The idea of the Dream was taken as a basis. When it is born, is it carried out..

Every day we walk the usual routes, from point A to point B. When do we have time to dream? Maybe when we go home from work? Or do we take an evening walk along the usual route? I drive the same routes every day and live many different stories in my dreams and imagination.

Perhaps it is in these gaps of space that our dreams are born. But what if our dreams remain dreams because we cannot get out of our daily patterns, beyond our usual routes? What if magic and light lie beyond these paths?

I created an installation that translates light from a light bar into sound using software code that transforms the amount of light entering the photoresistor into sound. And as part of the performance, the participants drew the usual routes on transparent sheets and put them on a light panel, and I sounded the light that was outside the redistribution of their routes. The result was a unified dream route map.

It was an improvisation together with musician Alexander Leonov, who in the process supplemented my sound with improvisationally created samples and musical instruments.
