Traumwelten
A reality behind the directly perceptible appearance, with certain psychological components occupies our process of dream exchange. The distortion, the alienation, the deconstruction, the blending are methods we resort to in the exploration of the interior and determination of the exterior. The dreams flow together in a poetic fabric. They spread over the surface like a net, are closely interwoven and rise from the inner world. In the territory of dreams we float, a floor is not needed for walking. Above and below are undefined, we can defy the laws of nature and thus subconsciously confront our innermost joys, fears, desires and thoughts. Partly upside down, elements of individual dreams rise above the wooden panels. Individual stories are hidden in a jungle of threads, which in their totality and depending on the direction of reading result in a completely new narrative. Painterly and textile processes enable a bridge from the inner to outer, allowing a glimpse into one of the intimate spaces, as well as en escape of dreams into reality. It’s not just dreams anymore. Since 05 Mai 2020, our project of dream worlds started to become alive. For half a year and beyond, we have documented our dreams on a daily basis. In the process, numerous texts have been created, morning podcasts with dream titles as well as drawings. Over a distance of up to 600 km we have approached each other day by day, opened one of the most intimate spaces for each other and thus brought closeness despite distance, which was also due to the special situation of the pandemic.
