DIRECTOR STATMENT :
Much of contemporary culture denies mythical nature of dream visions even though these phenomena are ever present in the unconscious. Conceived as a poetic laboratory, this short video interrelates conscious awareness and the enigmatic realm of the subconscious. This work is inspired by the notion that dreams know the truth of the world. The experience of this work is not intended to appease the conscious mind, but to challenge it.
