A transmedia project merging organic & electronic worlds, folk & the global digital space. String Figures is inspired by the ancient and current practice of ‘Cat’s Cradle’ all over the world. Figures as leisure game, graphical art form, medium for storytelling, chanting and spiritual expression. A continuous weaving of Strings approached with hypnotic sounds, mathematical choreography, subliminal landscapes and otherworldly journeys. Zoë Mc Pherson & Alessandra Leone make tactile meditations associated with a certain twist of the string. Each chapter explores a symbolic axis around which liminal transformations occur. From the unknotting of the opening to the final transmission, the movements of String Figures coil around a sonic memory.
