Resting Place (2023)
Augmented realitySound, 3:10 min
"Resting Place" is an immersive augmented reality visual
and sonic experience, delving into the intricate interplay of
human experiences in the digital age. Commissioned to
interact with the bucolic gardens of the Villa Lena
Foundation, this work emerges as a bridge between the
past and the present, the physical and the virtual.
"Resting Place" serves as homage to the multitude of beds and bodies that have occupied the Villa Lena's beds. What was once a space for travellers navigating the landscapes of Tuscany has now transformed into a sanctuary for artists and cultural practitioners. Alhimiary creates a digital realm that extends beyond the confines of the physical.
Here, a lunar dreamscape surrounded with 3d models of the Villa Lena’s beds suspended in space. It is a dreamscape that transcends the boundaries of time and place. The soundpiece is recorded and produced by the artist herself, and invites viewers to delve into their own inner landscapes, fostering a collective contemplation on the abject aspects of rest and sleep.
