“Understand the space between breaths — there lies the whole world.”
— Jalaluddin Rumi

Art often strives to express what slips beyond ordinary perception and language. The Betweenness method is an artistic approach exploring the “in-between” — transitional, liminal states where “before” and “after,” “was” and “will be” merge into a singular point.

The Betweenness method focuses on experiencing and expressing intermediate states of being — those elusive moments that cannot be fully captured or understood by traditional means. These are spaces between sleep and wakefulness, thought and word, life and death.

Within these states, something essential and profound occurs — essence and revelation that slip away the moment we try to grasp them. Transitions are accompanied by amnesia — forgetting that impedes access to “between worlds” experiences.

Core Principles of the Method
Immersion into the “between” state — creating artistic spaces or situations where conventional boundaries of time and perception dissolve.

Expressing the inexpressible — using sound, light, space, performance, and media to convey subtle, ephemeral experiences.

Provoking empathy — encouraging the viewer to undergo the “in-between worlds” experience, potentially evoking memory or profound sensations.

Working with memory and amnesia — acknowledging that liminal states come with forgetting, and art’s task is to bring viewers closer to these experiences.

Exploring time and space — engaging with relations of “before” and “after,” “life” and “death,” “sleep” and “wakefulness,” where these opposites merge.

The Betweenness method offers a unique way to explore the depths of human experience connected to transitions and liminal states.
It is an invitation to touch the ineffable moments where the entire world resides — in the silent spaces between breaths.
