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.

Since 2004, works by leading visual artists have been integrated on the DE SINGEL site that can be discovered in and around the building. The parcours of permanent works currently includes works by Temitayo Ogunbiyi, Kati Heck, Matt Mullican, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Rémy Zaugg, Pierre Bismuth, Walter Swennen, Christophe Terlinden, Edith Dekyndt and Cerith Wyn Evans.

Curator Heidi Ballet will give an insight in the collection in a guided tour on Thursday May 14 at 14:00. The tour is free to join, and lasts 1 hour.

Apart from the guided tour, the works can be visited any moment when the building is open (09:00-23:00). An information board in the inner garden indicates where the works can be found.

DE SINGEL is a large arts centre for performing arts that occasionally works with visual artists in interdisciplinary projects. DE SINGEL also has a permanent sculpture parcours with works by Walter Swennen, Rémy Zaugg, Pierre Bismuth, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Christophe Terlinden, Matt Mullican, Cerith Wyn Evans, Edith Dekyndt, Temitayo Ogunbiyi and Kati Heck.
