The logic of sleepwalkers is an ephemeral site-specific and immersive installation made of soy noodles.
The title refers to a double reality, logical and incongruent at the same time, as in the oneiric or hypnotic states of cognition.
Delicate and fragile, the candid strings occupy the space creating an ambiguous environment.
A temporal alteration occurs and the time appears slowed down if not suspended.
The limit between welcoming and unsettling is uncertain: the contemplative dream-like atmosphere triggers opposite sensations.
There is a measure between harmony and chaos as if an explosion were integrated into silence.
The installation explores the permeability of forms and perception acting as a threshold between reality and vision.
Investigating the latent qualities and evocative potential of materials the artists uses the soy noodles as a substance able to incarnate materiality and immateriality.
