Libraría: The Night Garden premiered as a film and Augmented Reality-based art installation in Saint Petersburg, Russia at the 2018 CEC Artslink Art Prospect Festival. The project maps the geographical and colloquial unconscious of the participants through their dreams and associations. The artwork consists of a blend of digital and analog experiences, stories given by our truest, most original selves in sleep, and assembled through art installation, film, poetry, performance, and an overall experience design that allows audiences to engage directly with the artwork.
