In sleep we find a different space, liable to be altered: subconscious, morphing with poetic truths and desires. In sleep our imaginations and connections are unlimited. In sleep we find death, we experiment – counterbalancing our controlled life. In sleep we dissociate from our solid self.
Virtuality is our sleep model. Our technique of alteration and reframing. Sleep can be considered as a counter-action to the hard-modeled reality – an escape to avoid over-fitting and compressed world views: all we want is to escape and to transcend.
The Sleep Laboratory offers a guided virtual experiment, in which the participants are invited to a setting which allows the readjustment of self perception and external observation. Joining an intimate scenario, during which you may look at yourself and your partner as a virtual container. Hollow and empty – but beautiful and lovable. Letting go to engage with sincerity.
From you, into fluidity,
Into fragility:
Death bedding,
Night kissing.
And total dispersion.
Hollowed out.
Formalize. Parametrize.
Empty biological Vessel left below.
A Room like a Terrarium.
Upload.
Look into the Eyes.
Complete Surrender.
A beautiful Fade-Out-Function.
