STORYTELLING¶
Setup for video
Atmosphere: Dimmed light, warm tone, calm ambiance.
Room: Theatrum anatomicum - at Waag
Main element - Root blanket:
-
Root blanket lying on a beige/off-white fabric for a soft, earthy look or a darker surface for higher contrast
-
Consider placing them on a wooden board to frame the piece — prevents it from “getting lost” in the space.
-
Optionally, add a handful of soil around the roots for more organic texture.
Projection:
-
Visuals of my recordings of growing roots projected onto the background wall.
-
Must connect technically via cables — keep connections hidden under the table or surface.
Sound
-
Main sound is the sound of growing roots, recorded via electroc chemical signals - organic creaks, scratches, and low-frequency movements
-
Speaker setup Subtle, ideally beneath or behind the scene; keep cables hidden - will be added later with video editing - for exibithion maybe inside the roots.
Requirements
-
Cables & tech: All cables must be physically connected to my laptop as TouchDesigner has to run for the sensor signals → all technique hidden underneath the table (exibithion)/ behind something for video
-
Projection: projected visuals have to algin with the physical setup — test connection and brightness.
Voice Over
Voice Over will be mixed with sounds
-We live in a time of constant movement. When was the last time you reached for your roots? Are they beneath your feet, grounded where you stand? Or do they live somewhere less visible—in a memory, a person, a feeling you carry? We drift between places, identities, versions of who we are. Always connected—yet often unanchored. What happens if we reconnect with our roots? Do they start growing? We relocate, reconnect, reinvent ourselves. We uproot, adapt, and replant—again and again. How do we root ourselves in this motion? What if rootedness is not something fixed. Not a place we return to, but something we carry— something we cultivate through attention, through care, through connection. Something we grow inside ourselves.
