Description

An invitation to pause. To rest. To listen. An intimate audio-sensory journey exploring the depths of human connection and the subversive act of lying down. Raquel Meseguer Zafe has gathered over 300 stories from people living with invisible disabilities and chronic illnesses about their attempts to rest in public. This immersive audio installation and live performance invites you into the heart of these experiences while remote participants across the UK illuminate the space with a gentle choreography of lights, showing patterns of rest unfolding in real time.
