This is a Pillow

Have you ever meditated with a book that evokes an auditory and active experience?

‘This is a Pillow’ performance started from an exploration of a relationship between a book and art and curiosity on if a book is a kinetic documentary providing a sonic and body experience. Two performers, Jinu Hong and Julia Schäfer, invite the public to their exploration, having them meditate with a book.

The performance consists of two sections, Part 1 and Part 2. In Part 1, participants will travel along with sounds with eyes closed. Part 2 will provide participants a bodily and active experience with a book.
