‘Antes de dormir’
The visual artist Lorena Ruiz Pellicero mainly uses photography and video art to tell stories through everyday objects, pursuing double meanings, metaphors, humor, and poetry. On the ongoing project ‘Antes de dormir’ the author explains: “When our brain is depleted of dopamine and we go to sleep, or when we are in a state of meditation, our prefrontal cortex, always alert during the day, also calms down and thoughts begin to ‘fall’ from the subconscious to a still conscious mind. It is the moment when creativity flows and we imagine more freely, with the sensation of being mere spectators without form in front of images that seem to come from a cathode ray tube. These projections that appear as flashes, latent for a few moments, that are deformed and transformed by some process of radiated thinking, are full of symbolism.”
