The performance-installation was held at Forum Box Gallery, Helsinki, in March 2020 before it had to be shut down due to COVID-19. The project was shown again at Moving in November festival, Helsinki, in November 2021.

Astral Projections (2020) is a living installation and a performance that is situated somewhere in between dream and fiction. The work is inspired by experiences that happen at the outskirts of everyday physical realities, when the material body is sleeping or consuming entertainment. In the gallery space, different dream-bodies and their incarnations communicate together, creating a surreal ritual. The installation-performance merges documented dreams, mysticism and athmospheres from digital entertainment.
