EN: The video ‘a quiet place’, by Latvian dancer and choreographer Kristine Brinina shows people in their most vulnerable and most universal state: asleep. 

A time for human recovery, giving the world some space for respite.

This video has been developed in the framework of Transition Days Luxembourg and is the fourth episode of 9 theme related artistic video works. ‘How to live together in a one planet world?’ is the overall question this year’s Transition Days ask. While examining 9 different topics over a period of 9 months, such as food, energy or transport. Using the metaphor of a house – with 9 different rooms – to deal with these topics, it seemed accurate to take a look at these rooms from an artistic point of view. In order to allow another kind of access and to build a bridge to a more imaginative or metaphorical as well as to an assumed subjective analysis of these topics. The artists have been chosen by Nora Wagner, on behalf of CELL (Center for Ecological Learning Luxembourg) – the transition hub, based on her ambition to display the points of view of a diverse range of artists, competent in the field of the respective thematics.
