In Field Trip, you stumble into an alternative world. In this world you are greeted by an omnipresent character which guides you through the space introducing you to the world and the different characters that exist within it. This character initiates you into a circle casting ritual which will put you on the border of time and physicality, inviting you to merge collectively and dissipate into time.This work is influenced by the reification of capitalism and the disconnection and spiritual poverty that this lifestyle imposes. In this piece contemporary desire and purpose are considered through the lens of a pre-capitalist society. This comparison allows for speculation about a counter libido outside of the confines of capitalist and consumerist culture. The work explores the emotional and spiritual catharsis that is available to us through collectivism, movement and ritual.
