INCEPTION
The project is based on the multiplicity of layers of one's dream.
Within the movie inception, in addition to camera angle and
special effects, the philosophy of dreaming was one of the main characteristics
of the plot. Each dream contains multiple levels and layers
simultaneously which are all connected to each other through an invisible
thread. The project adopts the characteristics of a dream and operates
as a dreaming machine-building. Once one walks into the building
he/she explores falling into the sleep level, as he/she proceeds
deeper into the space, the connection to the outside world blurs and
the building itself reveals the spaces layer by layer. There are spaces in
the building that are translated as dream chambers which provide the
circulation from one state of mind to another and a main thick wall
which connects this levels as the space where one travels through different
scenarios while sleeping. In between this layers there are windows
depicting sleep paralysis, where the occupant/dreamer sees the
window but the seen vision is untouchable and incomprehensible.
Finally there is the main dream chamber with the ceiling installation
of levitating lights depicting the weightless moments of the movie
and the REM sleeping period, which is the part of the dream one
remembers after waking up. The window which pierces
through the exterior skin of the building and is the awakening part of
the dream with a view to the Broadway.
