Realization for the Symposium of Predaia 2019:
The theme of the dream, understood as the oneiric activity of sleep, is dealt with in an allusive way, representing its momentary absence.
Documenting, in tangible reality, the physical trace of the place where it manifested itself.
The installation represents a cushion that has just been left, with a basin in the central part, that is, the imprint that the dreamer, just awakened, has left.
The construction technique defines the form in a somewhat vague way, like the images and situations that arise in dreams. The scale of the pillow, enlarged, places it clearly in the field of reveries.
Title of the work “Suspended dreams”.
