In the performative installation campfire, Bosse Provoost and Ezra Veldhuis invite you to take a seat on the stage. Beneath an impressive arc of light, you are immersed in a bath of sound and light. Here, you leave daily reality behind and enter a zone where the boundaries between human, animal, and technology blur.
We listen in on a conversation taking place under a strange constellation. As you sit there, you traverse different environments, or is it always the same space, lived through differently each time? The makers challenge us to think beyond our own human consciousness. What does the world look like through the eyes of a shrimp? What do the wandering arms of an octopus feel, or how do we experience the sanctuary of a womb?
Through an interplay of ancient animal paintings, firing synapses, and out-of-body experiences, a field of new perspectives opens up. Can we truly imagine how bodies so different from our own perceive the world?
campfire is an invitation to open yourself up to strange, unexpected connections between spots of light, fragments of sound, and bodies. It is a sensory experiment that reveals how, despite all our external differences, we are all connected deep down—biochemically and instinctively. In this living ecosystem, you are no longer just a spectator, but an essential part of the space you create together with the makers.
