Quantum Letrist Pilgrimage was, as the name suggests, a spiritual journey through various locations that have historic significance in connection to our philosophy. Along the way we crafted a program consisting of various participatory situations, 3-sided football and other improvised rituals. The journey started in Botosani (birthplace of Isidore Issou, founder of Letrism) and continued through ruins of ancient cities, broken down unfinished utopian projects, historic monuments and other sights of significance across Bulgaria, Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan until we reached a little temple dedicated to a muslim mystic and letrist prophet Esterabatlı Fazlullah. The journey started as a play or a joke, a quasi- artistic simulation of a post-spiritual pilgrimage, but in the end we discovered that the ‘joke’ was in fact the real thing. In the end we discovered a spiritual connection with the places we visited and struggled to go back to our regular lives. Compared to this, a regular life seems like a mere shadow of the real, authentic experience of being alive in this crazy, multifaceted world.
