Thesis: Escapism as resistance: Navigating utopias in a dystopian world
'"When the moon and the sun encounter each other in the sky, when the shines reflect
on the water, when the sky becomes red, connections to other worlds become more
tangible."
Set on Costa Daurada and the ruins of a castle in the suburbs of Barcelona, four
characters intertwine; a devil, a princess, a knight and a naked woman.
The Tides of Metallic Sea is an interpretation of dreams, a quest of transformation,
imaginaries emerging from the subconscious, mixed memories, familiar places that
become unrecognisable. In the installation, the tattoo bed stands as a door between worlds.
