Talks with Dr. Louisa Punt-Fouche - What is The Hovering?
"The effect that reading a work like "Breathing with the Earth"* has on one is to bring home the awareness that a world very different to the one in which we are living at present is in fact possible, if only most people could be made aware of the possibility of a ‘synesthetic world where a new form of consciousness speaks through colours, smells, tastes, music, textures, and feeling tones’. However, this requires that the dominant interests on the part of the vast majority of people be replaced by a wholly different mindset, which is open and receptive to what Louisa is uncovering through her sensitive and evocative writing and visual images. Ironically, the adoption of a mindset that is qualitatively different from the prevailing one – materialistic, consumerist, eco-destructive, susceptible to divisive and bellicose, war-promoting propaganda – is both easy and difficult. Easy, because one simply has to put what has been held up to us as being ‘normal’ between brackets (what she calls ‘letting go’), and look at the world with the eyes of a ‘wise creature of nature’, one that prioritises the mutually beneficent synergistic needs of nature and humanity, for the kind of future that Louisa invokes being a real possibility. Difficult, insofar as the very ease with which this transformation could take place, is prevented by the ingrained habits which impel people to overlook what is in fact right before their eyes..."

*Breathing with the Earth is the latest book from Dr. Punt-Fouche and the inspiration greatly to the Album and Video project of "The Hovering". This is a quote for a krit written for that book being launched the 12th of September 2025.
