Description of the presented project:
Date with an Octopus is an interdisciplinary audiovisual installation that expands the universe of the novel Fungal Dream by Gabija Grušaitė. Visitors are not only observers, but also participants. In the first part, the audience is invited to lie down, make themselves comfortable, relax and explore their body and consciousness. The blurred boundary between the inner human world and the external world is explored in relation to the Pacific octopus, which is both a concrete physical object/subject as it is a symbol and a fantasy. The visit to the art space is completed by the second part – an objects` installation (eight plastic replicas of Octopus Vulgaris dishes) that invites visitors to reflect the experience.
Will be available both in English and Lithuanian.
