Inland Island is a performative installation and poetic audiopiece, somewhere between a séance and a guided meditation. With a small group of participants, you take a seat at a table. Through headphones, you are addressed by a voice without a body. This voice belongs to a liminal being - an angel, an alien? At the same time present and absent, this eternal witness speaks about things happening at and far beyond that table.

“If we opened people up, we’d find landscapes” (Agnes Varda)

This being is looking for connection, both with the listener as between the listeners. Like a sort of science fiction, Inland Island opens up a broader, more tender view of the present. An ‘activating’ listening experience, an invitation to explore forms of attention, originated from questions about perspective and perception, about experience and subjectivity, about how we know things. A sensory exploration of how porous a boundary can be - the boundary of a space, an individual, a moment, but also the line between listener and performer.
