DREAMPOOL
DREAMPOOL is an exploration of a virtual space based on the public bathhouses of northern China during the 00s - 10s.
Based on the aesthetics of Dreamcore and liminal space, Dreampool criticizes the "uneasiness" of liminal space caused by the highly convergent interiors of modern architecture and seeks the significance of nostalgia and communal memory.
The dream in Dreampool is a refuge from reality, a virtual continuity in the fragmented reality of the modern public space. Dreampool presents the randomized journey in which deja vu rooms, warm unease, and nostalgia for a particular experience consist of self-finding. It ultimately answers the question, "Who am I and where am I from. "
