STRANGER DREAMS is an invitation to dive into a dreamlike parallel universe. Images, sounds and senses unfold following the logic of dreams: improbable, magical, surreal.
STRANGER DREAMS is both an aesthetic and poetic experience. It is a walk through an elusive landscape, which attracts and repels simultaneously.
STRANGER DREAMS is an evidence of a change – where entire strangeness gradually gives way to dystopia.
STRANGER DREAMS is a collection of phenomena and metaphors. Here aestheticism meets surveillance; artificial intelligence mingles with the unconscious; the Deserts of California border with data centres; the mystic confronts big data; and where you sometimes fly too close to the sun.
