Halo/Echo: A Walk Without Walking

Ort Gallery

Join us for this walk/shop where you will be guided into a liminal state via sound, somatic exercises and herbal tools.

‘The world and the living are nothing but a halo, an echo of the relation that binds them together.’ - Emanuele Coccia (The Life of Plants: A Metaphysics of Mixture, 2018) Prompted by their experience of visiting landscapes in recurring dreams, Sop invites participants on a ‘walk/shop’ – where you don’t have to move, and which you can take part in from your bed, sofa or living room floor. Using sound, somatic exercises and herbal tools, and prioritising comfort and autonomy, you will be guided into a liminal state in which to take a walk through a landscape from your own memory or dreams. Reflecting on your experience, you will then be invited to note down features, sensations, emotions and any narrative from your ‘walk’, and share this with your fellow walkers, if desired. In doing so we can attempt to collectivise the individual experiences, travelling together between our dreamed or remembered landscapes.All participants will receive materials via post.
