The Architecture of Dreams

Somerset House Studios artist Tai Shani muses on the worlds we explore in our dreams.

This film delves into Tai’s interest in dreams; the architecture of her dreams and the open-ended nature of dream logic. Through Shani's words, we explore how fantasy and the imaginary can act as radical spaces for the opening up of new horizons and alternative futures.

Uniquely bringing together sculpture, radio, live gatherings and a host of guest contributors, Tai Shani's 'The Spell or The Dream' runs until 14 September.
