Wall a.k.a. performance of imagination, where surreal forms dance to the rhythm of various hidden emotions. The links between the elements of fantasy of individual minds create one coherent piece that may be a universal map of human perception.

The world has no colors. There are no hues existing by themselves – it is your brain that cheats you, doing the coloring. This wall has a strong and dark gravity. The contrasting visual forms heighten and deepen the senses. The wall takes spectators on a journey through a melting, vibrant spacetime into mysterious areas of consciousness.

The wall of abstract colorful forms. Appearing chaotic at first, its shapeshifting visions enhance sensitivity to stimuli. An exploration where new feelings and sensations appear at each turn. Logic has no use here. To where leads the passageway through the hypnotic scenery conjured up on the wall? The final destination will be unique to every viewer.

As we navigate the technological advancements of the 21st century, we are inundated with an endless stream of entertainment options at our fingertips.  But what happens when we explore the realms beyond these mass-produced experiences?  Dream Buckets is an unexpected alternative to the prepackaged supersensorium: seven North American artists exploring the liminal space between individual dreaming and shared living.  This program collectively hallucinates alternative realities aimed at inducing a state of altered consciousness that can transport viewers to a new non-standard reality.

This year, the wall hosting works from the OPEN CALL section is a daydreaming spectacle envisioned by 17 artists from all around the world. A mosaic of all kinds of diverse techniques, forms, and narration styles that make up this common insane phantasmagoria. Expect the surreal and the hilarious, with an occasional hint of terrifying. You will dream and awake, only to enter another vision, unstopping for two and half hours. All these will surely be “great dreams”, their greatness expressed not solely in the dimensions of our walls. Full-on frenzy guaranteed.
