Farinha Mágica (Magic Flour) is a performance developed in collaboration with Ana Oliveira. We seeked to explore the realm of dreams and it’s connection with the act of materializing thought or intention into material form. We wanted to create an interactive sculpture that evoked the maleable quality of flour by approaching it as a material in which dreams can be given shape. The performance started with the announcement of the collective recipe we were about to make together. Which goes as follows:

As we placed water in the flour lanscape, people started to gather, slowly leaving their dreams with us. As a result we collected the dreams of the audience members and attatched them together in a bulk of flour. It sits until this day in our fridge, waiting for many more to join it there, while it waits for the next transformation of it’s body.

This projects hopes to travel and collect many more dreams of people, bringing this dough together and plant it in the soil in which we walk and dream in.
