About the artwork
This body of work represents the illusive qualities of the dream realm - how our hallucinogenic surroundings can disperse and transform at a glance and take us through an unpredictable journey of illogic randomness as our subconscious feeds us subliminal messages of our fears, desires and everything in between.
Rooted in contradiction, displaying surrealistic scenes of a motorsport race in slow motion - this piece illuminates the unforeseeable nature of the dream realm through boundless occurrences such as gravity defiance and shape-shifting subject matter.
Sound design by Dio / Belowsubconscious.

Belowsubconscious is a creator who merges the concepts of surrealism and distortion through the lens of AI tools. Within this space, visual scenes defy conventional logic, encapsulating the intricacies of an otherworldly reality. Her creative journey begins with generating text-prompted images rooted in an initial idea and evolves through iterative processes, where numerous versions are meticulously crafted until a compelling vision materializes, translating into a video.
Additionally, Belowsubconscious thoughtfully selects a soundscape that harmonizes with the animation, considering the emotions evoked by the visuals and choosing sounds that complement them. Between visual and auditory elements, Belowsubconscious navigates the synthesis of surrealism, AI-driven exploration, and meticulous craftsmanship. This approach unveils a world where the illogical finds its own poetic logic.
