The Ritual of Burrowing into Bed with Alyssa McClelland

Hotel Hotel Projects, Film

We commissioned a new short film for our Daily Rituals series. Director and screenwriter, Alyssa McClelland collaborated with U-P to capture the evening ritual of burrowing down into bed. Starring Alyssa McClelland.

Daily Rituals

Anthropologically speaking, rituals connect us to a culture, a sub-culture, maybe even a cult. We have always been curious observers of the repetitive and sometimes strange routines people practise in private. This fascination with human behaviour is the catalyst for a creative project and ongoing study of all the weird and wonderful rituals people do every day. For the project we have created a series of short films directed by U-P and Alyssa McClelland that re-enact the bizarre rituals of others inside the rooms of Hotel Hotel. We’ve also written articles, catalogued everyday rituals across cultures, studied tools and implements connected to rituals and have invited photographers to document their own rituals.
