Sondra Perry – Lineage for a Phantom Zone

Fondation Beyeler presents Lineage for a Phantom Zone, an immersive audio-visual installation by American artist Sondra Perry. The work imagines a dream about the artist’s grandmother that Perry wishes she could have had, thereby exploring her personal history as the roots of dreams, the erasure of Black history in the American South, and the dream space as a passage for reaching sites of heritage that are absent in reality. The multisensory installation will be accessible on the museum’s lower floor and accompanied by an artist’s book.
