Self-Darkness was an invitation to engage with the complexities of darkness through collective and individual experiments. Participants developed 1:1 bodily architectures, composing a landscape that presents as a dark alternative version of reality: An in between space, where different ideas can exist at the same time, open for interpretation by anyone who enters. We used artistic tools such as sensing, mapping or prototyping to work with circular narratives within, thereby affecting how we, as spatial practitioners, perceive, narrate, and interact with darkness in different situations. For the final presentation, a collective journey took us virtually on the loop of a series of encounters in the town of Valga.
