WHAT IS THIS PROJECT ABOUT?
The project explores Atlantis (described by various esotericists as an advanced society holding mystical wisdom.
Atlantis is a "fictional" island, firstly mentioned by Plato in his work “Timaeus and Critias”. The city supposedly sunk under the Atlantic Ocean, and its secret wisdom has been explored and described by mystics throughout times, such as Theosophist Helena Blavatsky and Rudolf Steiner, the famous philosopher who founded Anthroposophy and The Waldorf School Movement. These and others, have chronicled Atlantis as an advanced and utopian society holding wisdom that could bring world peace.
Atlantis has thus captivated dreamers, occultists and New Agers for the past 200 years. All these have claimed to access it, through various kinds of mystical practices, taking place in little groups in various places in the world.
My aim with this project, is to narrate this story through drawing,
and an installation with drawings, codexes and objects rereating the room of an esotericist exploring Atlantis and mystical wisdom.
The money would allow me to dedicate myself for one year to this project.

My practice uses experimental storytelling to create immersive installations, assembling artist films, collage, drawings, artist books, as elements of the study rooms of the peculiar characters of my narratives. My projects are inspired by research about a particular historical personality and/or event, which serves as a triggering point to approach the topics of consciousness, mysticism, psychic abilities, enlightenment and dreams. My artist films and performances, which are part of the installations, provide the viewers with the various points of view and deeper layers of meaning of my open narratives.
