SOMNI / 2021


Video Installation
Running with Strippers / Pasir Panjang Power Station








Being awake when living, being alive when dreaming. The path to defining reality lies in a deep dive through streams of the semiconscious, where proximity and distance merge, and the present with timelessness coincide. Desire dissolves as ambience takes the wheel and loops itself into a spiral of indulgence. This awareness of chaos brings forth elation, and the abandonment of senses brings forth logic. As the mental creeps in as metal, so does ambiguity render itself into intimacy. 

SOMNI is an experiential route to the depths of slumber, probing how the perceptions within carve consequences onto our realities.

SOMNI was commisioned by CAKE Theatre for Running With Strippers 2021.
