Shifted in Dreams - Redreamed is an audiovisual work taken from the album Shifted in Dreams, released in 2023 by Shelter Press. For this work, Kassel Jaeger recomposed the album, recombining the original sound materials and metamorphosing them into a new form, like a recurring dream, which returns night after night, but in a divergent way each time. For the visual part, the musician invited Eléonore Huisse, creator of the album's visual identity and author of the celebrated documentary Eliane Radigue - Echoes. While the film is constructed in response to the recomposed soundtrack, Kassel Jaeger's live performance is established as a kind of somnambulant walk on the filmmaker's images, pursuing a kind of decantation of an infra-thin sensibility on the fringes of contemplation and dream.
Commissioned by Semibreve as part of New Perspectives for Action, a project by Re-Imagine Europe, co-funded by the European Union.
