I shone on the torsos of ancient statues and facades of Berlin tenements. Now, the time has come for the Bolimów forest and the Land of Dreamers. We will illuminate it with the light of projectors, which will evoke from the forest mysterious figures and fairytale creatures. We named them: “Trees of Gods” – for the purposes of the Dreamersland immersion. If you want to see in the crown of the tree a forest spirit, animated by streams of photons, I guarantee its presence!

Simon Wieland
Polish-born multidisciplinary artist Simon Wieland has established himself in the art world with his distinctive perspective and style. When Simon was 25 years old, his artistic journey began, and he became deeply interested in esoteric and ancient knowledge, notably the power of music, human awareness, and sacred geometry. These topics served as inspiration for Simon as he started to develop his own artistic style and incorporate these ideas into his works. Through the use of shapes and proportions taken from sacred geometry, he is able to give viewers of his works of art a singular viewpoint and a calming experience. All of Simon’s artwork is hand-drawn, typically on dark backgrounds using metallic inks. This colour combination produces a special contrast and depth that is utterly captivating. At the moment, Simon lives in London, where he keeps experimenting and developing his art, moving beyond drawings to murals and video animations. Simon has developed a reputation as an artist who consistently pushes limits and investigates novel concepts thanks to his passion to his profession expanding his creations from drawings to murals and video animations.

Mujeres Medicina Project
Marta Kowalska Mujeres Medicina Project. A sensitive soul, woman, explorer, traveller around the world and within herself, photographer. For the past 9 years, she has been living halfway between Poland and Mexico. It was there that she opened up to spirituality and personal development, which at the moment of burnout helped her meet her own shadow, see the light, and regain her lost passion for photography. She is inspired by nature and man – his body, soul, and emotions. She is close to the philosophy of wabi-sabi and ikigai. Marta’s mission and dream is to soon embark on a journey around the world, photographing and recording the wisdom of traditional healers from various continents, as part of a long-term personal project “Mujeres Medicina”, which began with the documentation of a women’s circle in Mazunte, Mexico. After meeting traditional healer Joyce in Uganda, Marta realized that she wanted both male and female healers to be included in the final album, so the project is alive, evolving, and will soon change its name. Enough of divisions. Currently, the artist focuses on photographing the elders of traditional healers from various cultures and traditions. The author plans to conclude her project with the publication of an album with photographs and wisdoms of the encountered healers. Marta’s intention is to inspire people outside the “spiritual development bubble”, who will have the opportunity to see these photographs during exhibitions in galleries, to open up to traditional healing methods and the wisdom of the elders, which can help humanity overcome the crisis of depression, loneliness, and numbness, which are a real epidemic of Western cultures. www.mujeresmedicinaproject.com
