Being in You
Michał Stankiewicz
What remains of us after we die? Being In You is a mixed-reality documentary created with musician and geologist Cat Janice, before and after she passed away. The project reverses embodiment: instead of you stepping into her world, Cat asks whether she can step into yours, into your senses, your imagination, even your body’s movements.
If you smile now, I will be in your smile.
A tender duet between the living and the no-longer-living, an intimate encounter with the digital afterlife, holding someone’s echo of existence.

Creator
Michał Stankiewicz is a conceptual artist and an experimental theatre director. He likes to compare his own work to preparing a supper for friends or taking a bath together in an ice-cold river. Inspired by performance, postdramatic theatre, traditional rituals and magic, as well as studies in phenomenology, cognitivism and neuroaesthetics. The idea underpinning his approach is to treat the bodies of the audience members as a medium for sensing reality. His aim is to minimise the means of expression so that art becomes almost transparent, unnoticeable, invisible.
