This work is based on a collaboration between eighteen artists, an experiment in communal living resulting in a collectively authored film material. With references to early 1900s Utopian Communities and free school ideology the work approaches not only alternative ways of knowledge production but also issues of collective authorship and forms of collectivity. This particular video emphasises the narrative outcome of our collective endeavours. The group’s dream archive became a source of a surrealistic dreamlike narrative framed by audio-physical improvisation practices.
