Vernacular Dreamscapes: Nocturnal Dream Disposal (2024)

The overall theme of "Vernacular Dreamscapes" is nature as a zone of the unknown and uncanny, an alien and alienated territory, a deserted zone. This is counteracted by the appearance of dreamlike and absurd phenomena and inscrutable cavernous architecture. A stringent plot is never revealed, reality remains vague. The zone is inhabited by places, dreams, voices and supernatural creatures and artifacts; drug-induced experiences are creating a psychedelic time-stretching experience. We’re reminded of so-called "Involuntary Parks“, forbidden areas made uninhabitable by human-made disasters. A primitive AI creates a world where Dhalgren meets The Never Ending Story in Stalker/Ballard territory.
