Dream Coat is a continuation of Nefeli Papadimouli’s research on ephemeral communities, investigating when and how a community could exist for the duration of the night. Informed by utopian architectural and artistic avant-gardes as much as contemporary dance, this series of modular, connective, wearable sculptures function simultaneously as prompts for collective movement, fragments of a landscape painting and architectures of assembly, investigating the interdependence of cultural and natural forms. Composed of 10 suspended costume-paintings depicting the solar cycle, the architectural installation explores the possibility of meeting in a meta-verse that would link different dream places, a utopia of dreams. Drawing inspiration from Greek mythology such as the myth of Orpheus and the god Hypnos, and referencing the visual languages of Etel Adnan, Henri Matisse’s Dance and the circular movements of turning dervishes, Dream Coat imagines dreams and altered states of consciousness as spaces where everyone comes together.
