distorted found footage memories from an imaginative zone known as [oneiria], an environment with an indistinct threat lurking. something hidden between the layers of the observed reality has spun out of control. balancing on the edge between abstraction and figuration, between beauty and terror, [oneiria] uses unstable found footage in different formats (digital hd, vhs, super 8, …) literally as paint, smearing images to create a painterly, abstract, oneiric realm. glitch as a ghost in the machine, a datamoshed primal scream from faltering technology.
