STAY by Selen at Kondor

STAY is an immersive installation about what remains after a fall, an inner upheaval. A journey that unfolds through spaces, images, and presences that evoke solitude, memory, and reconstruction. Here, stay doesn't simply mean "to remain." It speaks of what remains within us when everything has changed— and of the possibility, little by little, of learning to exist differently.

October

October at alphatribe island is a sprawling village where houses are people! This is quite a crowded little place with lots of inhabitants, busy fetching water from two wells, admiring fountains, hanging around, gossiping, and generally enjoying the lovely Autumn afternoon. A granddad is telling some tall tales to his granddaughters - but they are sort of hidden, so you will have to look for them. A young man is having a sad episode by the sea - thankfully, he has a cat for company! A bunch of mutinous scarecrows is having a confab in a field. A flotilla of toy ships is chugging by. And the villagers are conscious of keeping the place neat and tidy - so you will encounter some very respectable folk wielding brooms against the onslaught of fallen leaves.
