MUUAN UNI

​​

 

Muuan Uni is an immersion-based interactive installation, that consists of a mixed media animation, soundscape and four beds. 

Outside the room there's a sign encouraging the viewer to lay down on the beds and view the animation, which is projected onto the room's ceiling. 

​

The viewer's position, the beds, stereo soundscape and the surrealistic animation together create a space that simulates the experience of having a dream. 

​

Dreaming for me has always been a form of escapism, a rest from having a life to live. By making this piece, I wanted to offer the viewer just that; a moment outside of reality. A place where they could just disappear, and after that go back when they feel ready. We all need a break sometimes, and sleep is our bodies way of providing that. 

​

In the written part of my thesis, I explored the phenomenon of something being "dream-like". What makes an art work resemble a dream? What does surrealism have to do with that? 

​

Below there's a few pictures of the installation.
