snooze

Snooze is an artistic investigation into the liminal state between sleep and wakefulness, a transitional condition in which the individual oscillates between unconsciousness and awareness. This suspended time, experienced daily through the act of postponing the alarm, is explored as a fragile and transformative space where the relationship with the body and reality is redefined. The project unfolds through a video in which a performer, her face covered by a white mask, moves through dreams that appear realistic but become progressively unstable. Each alarm interrupts the dream, and each return to sleep makes it more surreal, until the boundaries between reality and the dream state dissolve, leaving the performer suspended in a condition of ambiguity and transition.
