S’NOT REALLY ALIVE.

NO...

“Buildings are extremely weird. Every house tells a story. Part of what it is to be trained to survive in our society is to be trained to think that buildings don’t have secrets... But of course the moment you turn the lights out, everybody’s deep feeling that buildings are alive comes back.”


Architect Mark Wigley, 2012

A BODY TO DWELL film project was created in a week on location in Skillinge Sweden, serving as an element of the live multimodal site-specific performance of the same name, which premiered at the CPPM Manifestal performance festival in Tallinn in 2021.

“if we have retained an element of dream in our memories. if we have gone beyond merely assembling exact recollections, bit by bit the house that was lost in the mists of time will appear from out the shadow.”


Gaston Bachelard, Poetics Of Space
