[LINK TO DREAMS ARCHIVE]
Dreamscape is the second phase of an international research project developed by Eva Frapiccini from 2011 to 2022 in which thousands of people from different parts of the world entered her Dreams’ Time Capsule and were asked to recall and record on a microphone details and memories of dreams that they had experienced.
“The purpose of archiving was to carry out a utopian work, to reach people in different parts of the world to record their nightly dreams, to understand if there were any common images, testing the Jungian collective unconscious. Over the years, during historic votes, the pandemic, and national referendums, this call has been answered by more than 2,300 people who have entered the itinerant structure in Bogotà, Cairo, Stockholm, Genoa, Berlin, Sharjah, Turin, Dubai, Riga, Bergamo” says the artist.
Dreamscape places the practice of listening at the center of the visitors’ experience, creating an immersive sound installation that requires their presence to be activated. In the dimly-lit exhibition space, with the sound dramaturgy of Sara Berts, Dreamscape shifts the focus from remote viewing to an intimate yet collective participatory experience that reveals the universal dimension of the unconscious, as dreams transcend the cultures of those who generate them.
