Interview for Film Shooters Collective

Production notesAn art book and exhibition with staged photographs, illuminating essays, chilling stories and background texts: experience a rollercoaster ride through an entertainment park for sleepwalkers in the near future. Visually and literary compelling.
Dream Control describes and visualizes both the fascinating and terrifying aspects of an amusement park for sleepwalkers, which – as closer inspection reveals – is a front for a dubious organization, whose true motives are unknown. As such, the series is an invitation for the viewers to scrutinize the value and integrity of allegedly life-enhancing services, whose sole purpose is to jeopardize the customers’ ability to lead a self-determined, sovereign life.
