(the space I miss on earth)




Ari Benjamin Meyers and Lucinda Dayhew will live in the Orbit for seven days. During this week experiments will be carried out and various rituals and performances will take place. These activities will take place in complete darkness and isolation and will be documented with sound, music and video recordings. The Orbit's interior will remain inaccessible to the public for the entire duration of the project.

She closed the curtains, unscrewed all the lightbulbs and stopped the children from going to school. In this prison the three girls developed their own language…" –kurier.at
