Teleportation and Transformation are two processes that emphasize the physicality of the body — in Transformation, the body shifts to another shape and form, in Teleportation, the body is disassembled and reassembled at another place in the same form. There is a movement or a passage or a gap from State 1 to State 2. During this in-between moment, we are not aware if the body is even present. Is this gap between our old and new self another version of ourselves? A non-self or a multiple self, including before, after, and the time between? And if this is so, are we able to fit all these possibilities together in one body?
A documentation of eleven successful teleportation & transformation cases, realised with tools that all of us already have at disposal — an ode and an introduction to the wish for more life, as much life as possible, through poetry and art.
