Projects present and past

Somnus - Seaborne - Dark Light - The Delphi Project - 22 Pillars -

Director of Jennifer Kornberger’s production Sonmus – the sleep ritual, a theatrical installation incorporating elements of poetry, movement, stage design, sound and site activation.
Presented as a series of kinetic ‘still lives’, Somnus is staged as both an experiential work inquiring into the nature of sleep, and as ritualised spectacle. Composed as a durational installation over three days, the work becomes an open stage for dreams and the ‘nightself’ to emerge.

Seaborn was a contemporary performance/ritual by Zweitgeist (a collaborative Duo between writer and interdisciplinary artist Horst Kornberger and artist and curator Tom Muller)to mark the commencement of the first Fremantle Biennale. The event was conceived as a meta-artwork that involves individual artists working with site-specific responses in a collective, equally site-specific performance piece. The emergence out of the sea of fully dressed artists at the iconic Bathers Beach, Fremantle, served as a metaphor for the artistic ‘High Tide’ that the Fremantle Biennale aimed to bring about. Seaborn involved the community of creators, participants and supporters in an ‘alignment ritual’ that articulated collective intent through collective enactment.

The Delphi Project

The Delphi Project (with Jennifer Kornberger) was an entirely artistic undertaking. It was not about renewing oracular traditions that had their justification in the past. It was about expansion of the human mind, the development of poetic and imaginal capacities that can supplement what the intellect alone cannot provide. Developing these capacities and applying them collectively was the core of this work.
