At the crossroads of performance, poetry, colour, and sound,
“I WANT YOU TO THINK OF PARADISE” reaches for the fleeting feeling of belonging,
a collective imagining of closeness, an attempt to invent paradise together.

Greed, landscapes, namelessness,  each tried on like a costume.
Somewhere in the distance, a synthetic mountain raises.

WILL YOU COME WITH ME?


We write postcards to a better place and dream of long dresses drifting in the wind.


Look, over there! I think something’s growing, something we might wear in paradise.
