THE RED CARPET PROJECT SPACE PRESENTS HIBERATION BY LYDIA VENIERI CURATED BY KIMONA VENIERY VASILAKI

An enchanted sleep, a spell that holds an entire society, and a plan whispered by dolphins: Lydia Venieri tells dystopia in the language of fairytales.

Sleeping Beauty Conscience, made in the aftermath of 9/11 with a home camcorder and a soundtrack of children’s toys, follows a world under a spell while its conscience is managed. In The Dolphin Conspiracy, nature decides to shake off humanity and the dolphins draw up a Planetic Exodus toward a destination that stays open. Inside an installation that transforms Red Carpet Project Space, the fairytale glows, and behind its soft surface the questions about fear, control and manufactured innocence run deep.
