Wonder and Wander: As below -So above

​

I found a

weed

that had a

 

mirror in it

and that 

mirror

 

looked in at

a mirror

in

 

me that

had a

weed in it

 

(R.A. Ammons, “Reflective”, Collected Poems 1951-1971)

​

In Wonder and Wander: As below - So above, LATERNA invited the audience to a guided sensuous walk through FUXI Gardens unknown areas of wild weeds, magical plants and beings. By creating a Spagyric Elixir of plants from FUXI Garden itself, a special blend of Horsetail, Lady's Mantle and Red clover, audience were welcomed and invited to imbibe the garden itself into their own system through drops of plant alchemy, before being guided through this wild garden, experiencing and mirroring themselves in the garden on the verge to fall season. By tuning in, perhaps it is possible to sense the vibration of the surrounding life?

Performed September 7th as part of FUXI Gardens RITUALER 2025, Rånåsfoss. A collaboration with A-project and Aurora Sandlilje.
