background


Sightings


Sightings is an ongoing social practice project, where the artists make a performance over the course of an intense relationship with place and people.


Aided by the enigmatic character known as Creature, Sightings is a process of witnessing and composing reality-based fiction. It’s a performance experience that embraces ideas of unreliable narratives, enchantment and haunting, the power of community enthusiasts, and a love of the outsider.
