The Ritual of Reading in Bed with Emily Sexton

Hotel Hotel Projects, Performance

Emily Sexton, Head of Programming at the Wheeler Centre, performed a reading from the bed of Meandering Atrium room number 203. Ten hotel guests piled on in for the first in an ongoing series of bedtime stories.

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.
