Where are we now?–a scene from Lucid
Lucid: You are Dreaming is an installation that visualizes dreams from actual sleep talk sounds by using cel animations.
Lucid is a state between dream and awake, in other words, when ones are not entirely unconscious. The concept is built up by asking, "How would it be like if we could imagine what people see in their dream?" Then using sleep talk sounds as an access point to imagine a dream.

The installation space was made up, giving the feeling of a bedroom with a mattress, pillow, organza fabric for a project, and headphones for the sound. Organza fabric-made structures surround the audience, indicating protection when one sleeps. People have different feelings and memories associated with this object; some said it reminded them of camping or sleepovers.
The bodies contain the memory of the gestures, of laying down, audiences realize that the project feels like a dream without prompt.
