Venues / DE SINGEL

The video installation 'Plum Road Tea Dream' is an autobiographical video game by the Antwerp-based artist Samuel Baidoo, created in collaboration with, amongst others, new media artist Sondi. Through their avatar S, Samuel grants access to a series of safe havens that you are free to visit.

Each space is a ‘sanctuary’ in which, as a player, you can slow down and lose yourself. Exploring these worlds means delving deeper into the layers of S’s subconscious. Wandering and discovering thus becomes an archaeological process of mourning, healing and gaming.

Levels, graphic styles and atmospheres blend into one another, whilst as a player you gradually discover new parts of the world and, in the process, new parts of yourself. An analogue and virtual journey of discovery beyond physical sculptures, images and texts.
