What would happen if the whole world becomes your bedroom?
A fetus can spend around 40 weeks in a mother’s womb with all their survival needs provided to them.
From the moment a newborn take their first breath in the outside the parents immediately make sure and somehow simulate the womb’s conditions in their new environment, their home, their bedroom. Later on, the world becomes this womb and a human who start exploring how to adapt with this new home, this new bedroom. They start looking for those private and intimate places that they can feel safe at.
“My project is an invitation for people to explore their native womb with me through a bed, to think of these intimate and personal yet so pure actions; having a breakdown or maybe doing a happy dance, getting dressed and undressed, falling asleep to dream then waking up, folding your sheets or just leaving them”.
