Welcome to Everything could be Different – a call for optimistic narratives: a place to dream big and to look ahead.
We need to dream new dreams for the twenty-first century
as those of the twentieth century rapidly fade.
Quote by Dunne, A., & Raby, F. appearing in their beautiful book Speculative everything: Design, Fiction, and Social Dreaming.
Time to bing back perspective on the menu! The immersive installation Everything could be Different invites fellow creatives to dream big again and encourages action.
A five course-meal! Because we need to allow ourself to enjoy life. It serves as an analogy to tell the story of the dismantlement of the dreamless sleep, then the cleansing of fear and pity, and finally the shift to optimism. All three stages are represented spatially in the installation: through form, materiality, storytelling…
The installation manifests in the loose shape of a five room pentagon, including a spiraling pathway, making the guest circle into the center where they find closure and from where they get launched out into the world again.
While the first room acts as a welcoming spot, the second and third room deal with letting passivity implode. The fourth room acts as a catharsis retreat, before moving into the fifth room and beyond, which take on the task to push the big dream.
