Portal 1 ... a performative cut up rite took place on the 8th September 2019 in Stockholm as part of
The Walking Festival of Sound
#1 Stanton Drew Stone Circle’s, England and Marietorget, Stockholm.
In this interactive performance piece participants were invited to join me in an urban scared space, where I'll attempt to combine two heterotopic sites, one urban and seemingly profane in Stockholm, one rural and sacred in England. By using the method of the cut up, manifested as a physical happening, the idea was to transform the site into a kind of hierophany.
In splicing the two places together I attempted to create a phenomenological cut up – in doing so opening a portal, and facilitating the possibility of sub conscious time travel whilst hoping to encourage an open discourse around humans relationship to the land and the possibility of psychological re-aquaintence as a form of resistance.
