A spell for the trees Beithe (Birch), Dair (Oak), Fearn (Alder), Saille (Willow) and Idhadh (Yew)

Painted banners with Ogham letters, laserjet prints of corresponding hand signals (T.U.Z), looped audio spell for the trees - one utterance recorded every day for the duration of the residency + The PLATZine

Developed during the "Temporary Utopian Zone" residency at PLATZProjekt and exhibited at Niki Residency, 2a Weisenburger Strasse Studios for Zinnober, Hannover, August 2019.

Inspired by the varied ecologies of Murray R. Schaefer's Magic Songs, Pauline Oliveiros' Sonic Meditations, Jeremy Narby's The Cosmic Serpent and the Celtic tree script of ogham.

Audio part of the installation available on soundcloud.
