Hylozoic/Desires (Himali Singh Soin and David Soin Tappeser) are a multi-media poet-musician duo whose work centres around the rhythms of love and the beat of belonging.

Setting the Stage For a Gathering of Friends (2020) was made in the pandemic in Delhi when the artist Himali Singh Soin was confined to her home. Through an absorbing aerial view of a figure drawing a circle on the flat roof of a building, Hylozoic/Desires set the stage for a gathering of

friends and explore uncertainty, chance, missed connections and a return to something we once felt and offer that waiting can be a form of love.
