Interstellar Sleep is an immersive installation produced in collaboration with astrophysicists from York University Observatory, cosmologist Dr. Renée Hložek, and composer Mani Mazinani. It is comprised of a celestial filmscape, a surround soundscape, and a series of performances taking place during the opening week of the Biennial. Through the choreographed interplay of these multivalent forms, Tripp explores Martinician thinker Edouard Glissant's notion of pensée du tremblement (trembling or moving thought), which gestures to a poetics of unrooted and rhizomatic relations.
