The Sanctuary of Dreams

“The Sanctuary of Dreams” is an immersive art film and multi-sensory installation that weaves together cinematic storytelling, experimental animation, atmospheric soundscapes, and mixed-media collage. At its heart lies the Future-Dreaming ritual—a participatory foresight practice inviting audiences to co-create alternative futures shaped by collective imagination. Set within an ethereal temple—conceived as a sacred space for introspection and transformation—visitors are invited to reflect on five essential questions: how we will eat, play, dream, pray, and love in an ideal future. Guided by the artist’s avatar, they embark on a speculative journey of world-building, transforming abstract visions into tangible possibilities. More than a film, this work becomes a cinematic séance: an immersive portal where imagination and reality converge to generate new mythologies and radical visions for what lies ahead.
