‘The Machine of Horizontal Dreams is a queer exploration of connection - how we build it, how we lose it, and how we might reimagine it in a digital age.’ - YASS Magazine, 2025 Incredibly excited to share the trailer of The Machine of Horizontal Dreams by @danvisuals . The video captures the essence of the performance installation with incredible sensitivity, highlighting how the audience shifted, morphed and transformed alongside the installation itself, carried by the incredible community cast, the visual landscape, the light, the performers and the sound world our team brought to life. I am deeply grateful to Dan for shaping such a poetic and visually arresting piece capturing the work. Link in bio to see on a big screen.
