Library of Dreams
Selected XR Development Market
Information
The Library of Dreams is a documentary VR project based on dreams' research during political repressions and wars in the Third Reich, USSR and modern Russia, where dreams overcome censorship and report pain. By collecting and recreating dreams, we create an alternative universe, a universe of authentic feelings. It's an embodied experience where the user is traveling through the dreams of different people living under oppressive regimes. Many of the heroes of our research lived an "ordinary life", awake, they did not express any resistance to the political situation. It seems important to us to show the duality of consciousness that is inherent in all who have experienced the collective trauma of state terror.
