With psychoanalysis, we should listen to dizziness: to find rhythms and tempos of the unconscious. Other senses in the nonsense. Triggering — dizziness allows talking; and a change in perspective, if heard. Colliding, conflicting trajectories in intense multiplicity could lead to the shape-shifting of lives, and institutions. What can be heard in Yukio Mishima’s and Gustav von Aschenbach’s dizziness?
Be that as it may, the objective is to expose oneself to the discomfort of momentarily losing one’s bearings and hence oneself.

Over the last years both the writing and work Moshe Feldenkrais and Richard Shusterman's notion of somaesthetics have come into focus, and we are looking forward to present our artistic research on dizziness, and exchange with experts in the field at the conference "The Promise of Pragmatist Aesthetics" in Budapest.
'Utrata równowagi' at Ujazdowski Castle, Centre for Contemporary Art is the follow-up exhibition of 'Dizziness. Navigating the Unknown' at Kunsthaus Graz and allows visitors to immerse themselves in the experience and reflections on dizziness.
