Face as Sensor

— multisensorial exploration

practice • residency • wait-and-hear

2023 — wait and hear group, initiated by Mari Mäkiö

Instead of using eyes, ears, or hands to explore the environment, use the multisensory surface of your face to receive and exchange sensations.

Find a spot with soft inviting moss or a cool glacier lake.
Lay down on your belly and press your face against the surface.
Depending on the material you put your face into, breath in and out.
Hold the position for several minutes (in case you are able to breath), or for however is comfortable to you in case you are not able to breath.
Reflect on your experience.
