casting circles (2020)

“casting circles” is a site-specific collaborative game created by with sculptor and painter, Daniella Mooney.

the game follows the logic of pagan-magical practices whereby a container (circle) is cast to invoke and direct particular energies. incorporating this practice with the idea of a game that involves a series of rules and strategies, the idea was to build energy through playing, in order to be directed and released through the framework of a specific intention that is woven into the start of the game.

“casting circles” was developed and played next to St. Nikolai-Kirche in Berlin, Mitte, the oldest church in Berlin and continues to be played in other sites.
