drop a line was a project that took place in different locations during 2007/2008. It has been presented in Tromsø, Gent, Berlin, Oostende and Brussels. In each place diverse artists participated and different types of spaces and materials were being explored.

The project researches the relation between an artistic product and its process. Each location had it’s own unique presentation. drop a line works on how to relate the presence of space, sound, people, and situation to certain materials. How do we design the performance space as an intermediate place where information is collected, stored and materialized? While visiting the space, the audience go through different layers of physical experiences that explore one’s sensation being inward as well as outward.
