Greetings, Kia ora, Hyvää päivää!

welcome to Trip the Light Fantastic - an impossible expedition, a dreamed voyage, a flight of fantasy. A journey through story that unfolded in the period leading up to and during the residency conference Solar Circuit Aotearoa/NZ [scanz].

in the tradition of every good road trip ‘postcard’ images of iconic females were chosen for the banner to reflect the homelands of the members of Avatar Body Collision - from the left we have Boudicca, Queen of the Iceni [and the map of England],
in the middle is the map of Aotearoa/New Zealand, the journeying would end and begin at Taranaki on the west coast of the north island - all ‘kiwis’ are familiar with Pania and the pakeha woman, who is in every government organization as part of the official coat of arms - and on the right above the map of Finland is the painter Helene Schjerfbeck

this blog is the creative ‘road trip’ of Avatar Body Collision sharing with you intimacy and massive space of driving somewhere with
others in the car. the cinematic slow turning landscape, the video windscreen, the crazy stops in out of the way places and the glimpsed intersections into other peoples realities...
