How to believe the sun is there when it is not warm on your skin? sun bed is an installation and performance using worlding, relational networking, and poetic translation to imagine a parallel world where the sun is missing. Only 99 hours of sunlight a year leads to a world where heliocentric rituals, adapted nature, and artificial lights emerge as artifacts of a culture of longing. A wind-gifted origin book acts as the base for imagining this parallel world. Rather than fixed narratives, the work emphasizes gaps in perception, what remains uncertain between profane and sacred, inviting navigation through belief‘s fragile illusions via sonic, visual, and choreographic transmissions.
