Extreme Unction Vol.2 at Arts Admin


A 70-minute guided multisensory experience

Extreme Unction Vol. 2 is a transformative space where grieving and loss meet ecstasy and exultation, a liminal sonic-ritual art environment inspired by the life and spirit of 12th-century visionary Hildegard von Bingen.

A cleansing without washing.

A touching without being touched.

A multisensory experience of intimacy, listening, stillness and communing with inner and outer worlds through sound, touch, taste and sense of the body in space.

Drawing community back together again at a time when we have all lost so much.

A preparation for viridity.

A piece of speculative architecture that functions as sonic installation, instrument and imagined communal bathing space.

A neurodivergent and biophilic approach to design.

An initiation into a new world.

We enter into mythic time as past and present turn in the circle.

Bathe in mesmerising beauty and join with oblivion before returning to new life.

Part of What Shall We Build Here, Artsadmin’s festival of art, climate and community from 28 June – 2 July 2023.
