Shadows in Paradise

Performative design situation as an act of healing and togetherness.

Visitors of the exhibition were asked to come and break the spell of apprehension during an enchanting ritual. Because the exposure to mass media arouses fear. Even if the frightening scenarios are fictional they blind us and make us unable to act. Together, we can overcome this stream of dread. The designer wearing an anti-fear priest's robe became a healer during the collective street therapy session.
