Oneiric Kitchen (2024)

Picturesque activities gather those with a sinister secret: they are all afflicted by atypical sleep patterns. In participatory workshops held across the UK and Japan, patients and doctors partake in tactile, ludic gatherings, while opening up about the vulnerability and mercurial nature of dreams and (lack of) slumber. Both a remedial, practice-based project and a film, Oneiric Kitchen ushers a private nocturnal problem into a communal forum of open discussion and soothing reflection.
