Performance ‚Voyage: A Session for Remembering‘ by Nahum

“Our imagination flies – we are its shadow on the Earth.”
Vladimir Nabokov

In your mind there is a trip in oblivion. Once we walked together on a remote surface and it’s time to remember. Please seat comfortably, close your eyes and let yourself go… our journey has begun. ‚Voyage: A Session for Remembering…‘ is a project by artist Nahum that explores the possibilities of creating an artwork inside people’s minds, internal and immaterial. At the same time, this performance questions the access of space travel for all. ‚Voyage: A Session to Remembering…‘ is a 40 minute long hypnosis performance where all the members of the audience participate. No one is observing and everyone will wake up remembering something new, a walk on the moon. This performance has been shown in countries like Sweden, Mexico, UK, Germany, Japan, France, Brazil and Canada. It’s completely safe and it only requires the following:

– Participants must be willing and able to be hypnotised
– The performance requires active participation of the audience
– No drugs and alcohol should be ingested prior to the performance
– Feeling mentally, emotionally and physically stable during the day of the performance
– Have a strong desire to remember something you have forgotten
