Surrealistic Telegram

This participatory project is inspired by the surrealist practice of automatic writing. Visitors to Kunst Meran (IT) choose three words at random, which they have to associate with an object or work. This allows them to see the work differently, and then to write a short poem. These telegrams were exhibited in the museum. The participants were invited to the closing event, where all the poems were remixed and performed, to form a collective work. There, I improvised melodies to turn the poems into what could be a collective song, transcribing the emotions felt by visitors during their visit.
