Ritual of release for "What is Our Dream?", Helmhaus Zurich

Once the exhibition closed, and the series of performative exchanges “What is Our Dream?” therefore finished, something had to be done to release the 76 dreams that had been shared, invented and produced during those 17 performance sessions.
Upon conversations with some of the “dreamers”, as well as with curator and museum director Simon Maurer, we made a ritual of release in three acts letting them go into the air, water and fire.
