Meditations

A series of five guided visualisations, Meditations is a twisted re-imagining of self-help videos that play with western society’s obsession with fear, albeit with a slightly more sinister bent. While works of this kind usually lead the viewer into the “light”, Meditations welcomes us into a darker realm of fear, anxiety, paranoia and panic attacks. Shrouded in darkness and wearing headphones, the viewer is placed in a secluded field of meta-narratives, then lulled through a series of relaxation techniques to end up in a worst case scenario. It remains ambiguous whether the narrations are speaking to a character or stemming from their internal voice. This is anti-relaxation for tough times teaching positions in Pottsylvania and Mainz.
