Art Video

Winter Sleep

This short art video is about the Dreaming of a Mother Bear presented by My Bear Self!

It was made spontaneously while we were in Sweden in April and unexpectedly experienced a White Easter (rather than the White Christmas we had hoped for a few months earlier in the same location).

One of my long-standing dreams was to put on a bear costume, roam in the forest and hibernate in a cave – so I took the opportunity to do just that.

On another level this art video is about dissolving separation between humans – animals, self – other, ancestors – future generations, inner world – outside world, life -death and so forth.

In the final reckoning this short film is my living will as it communicates my wishes for my own death and beyond.
