Patterns of Paradyze: Ground Research, Claiming Common Spaces Festival 2022

Equipped with stethoscopes and geological surveying instruments, Patterns of Paradyze explored the ground around Festspielhaus HELLERAU as part of their performative research. Accompanied by their robot Scotti, they listened to the stories embedded in the earth, tracing its histories, imagining its futures, and reflecting on its transcontinental connections.

The project investigates how spaces hold memory, how the ground shapes experience, and how attentive engagement with the earth can reveal overlooked narratives and relationships.
