DREAM
Inspired by Paul Éluard’s poem Homme Utile, DREAM is a magical, visually rich escape from reality. When the weight of the world becomes unbearable, a human creature drifts into a surreal dreamscape where colours bloom and logic fades. Accompanied by a group of strange and gentle animals — beings deemed “useless” in the real world — they wander through surrealistic landscapes, trippy environments, and colourful seas in search of stillness. What begins as an escape becomes a quiet exploration of freedom, rest, and the beauty found in simply being.
