Dina Shenhav | THE BED'S DREAM

Curator: Kobi ben Meir

​

In the Installation "The bed's dream", all the furniture and objects in the room are made of soft sponge. The material makes the room become an intimate space. Being a sound absorbent material, the sponge also creates a peaceful environment that isolates the child from the hustle of the house and the street. This room is a transit object, replacing the warmth and comforting embrace of the mother. While falling asleep one's mind wanders between clarity of thought & ambiguity, vague consciousness. The floating bed in the installation, defies the laws of gravity like a fantasy of a loose body that is falling asleep loosing its sense of balance. Homogeneous color and a soft sponge implies the disappearance of rational thought, when the details are blurred and boundaries are no longer clear.
