Sarah Huber and Johanna Mangold explore models of reality and states of consciousness in their artistic collaboration.
They employ the concept of play as a tool to understand the world as a complex simulation. In their artistic practice, they interweave archetypal symbols, ritual motifs, and elements of science fiction and pop culture with scientific and theoretical paradigms. They investigate how ritual actions influence the connectivity between humans, other living beings, and the Earth, and the effects this has on human consciousness. The mechanisms of the psyche and the dynamics of physical interactions are essential fields of research in their work.

Through their experimental approach to heterogeneous streams of information, they create poetic works that invite viewers to renegotiate the boundaries between reality and fiction, consciousness and dream, science and mysticism.
