this work is a speculative poetic research on sonic and somatic interrelatedness between plants and humans. the working group, four dancers, three musicians, three filmmakers, the producer and the director were living and working together for a week on a remote land in the mojave desert in southern california, making kinship with the desert.

the mojave desert is known for a long history of attracting all sorts of believers, outlaws and new-age enthusiasts. all possible futures exists in that lineage, looking for new planetary narratives and futurities.

we experimented with a recording technique known as “holobiontism”, which allows to record the electronic impulses of plants. the same technique was used for recording the electronical impulses of the dancers. we meditated with the plants surrouding us and developed movement-material that embodied the connection made. after a few days we started filming the findings. the outcomes were transformed into a multi-channel installation with sonic and somatic scores – a shortfilm is currently (2026) in the making.
