Poetic game-performance on grief and healing
Samuel Baidoo, in collaboration with, among others, new media artist Sondi, who also designed the cover of this season’s brochure. The multidisciplinary project takes on various forms: from game and performance to exhibition and talk. All of these are renderings of Baidoo’s reflections on grief, joy, and sorrow. In this performance, Baidoo presents the video game, and afterwards, you can visit the accompanying exhibition for several more weeks.
Through their avatar S, Samuel grants access to a series of safe havens that you can explore. Each space is a ‘sanctuary’ in which you, as a player, can slow down and lose yourself. Exploring these worlds means delving deeper into the layers of S's subconscious. Walking and discovering thus becomes an archaeological process of mourning, healing, and gaming. Levels, graphic styles, and atmospheres blend into one another, as you, the player, gradually uncover new parts of the world and, in the process, new facets of yourself. An analogue and virtual journey beyond physical sculptures, images, and texts.
