Vitória Cribb draws on her subconscious to challenge the limits of reality. A Brazilian/Haitian artist, her surreal and imaginative works challenge social structures and behaviours. Through rethinking the body, her work has a powerful feminist political edge. Cribb was awarded the PIPA Prize in 2022 and was nominated for the CIFO-Ars Electronica Award. She has contributed work to international exhibitions including: Who Tells a Tale Adds a Tail (Denver Art Museum, 2022); Hotel Blue (Vellum LA, Los Angeles, 2022); and Disembodied Behaviors (Bitforms Gallery, New York , 2020).

Lost in the ambient sounds of their neighbourhood searching for silence in the middle of the chaos. 
No one can hear them but everybody can watch their repressions.

“This is not the earth, where things are weighed down. This is the air, where porn physics reign. A furnace where hundreds of thousands of dollars burn to make real life feel like someone’s aesthetic blog. They must live in this hyper-real atmosphere like alien birds."

Psycho Nymph Exile by Porpentine Heartscape

Parasomnia are undesirable behaviors and experiences that occur during partial arousal from sleep. These disturbing phenomena, including night terrors and sleepwalking, occur during those undefined transitional periods when we are caught between dreams and reality. 

The artworks in this exhibition provoke a similarly disconcerting liminal state. Criss-crossing timelines and warping dimensions, the artists use the flexible parameters of digital space to develop their own eerie universes. Bending the laws of physics and the expectations of biology, they create these uncanny new worlds in exquisite detail. Their dystopian scenes resemble nowhere but remind us of everywhere. Through creating this terrifying aesthetics of anxiety, they provide a surprising and unwelcome contemporary critique. Hauntingly beautiful and intoxicating, the nightmarish visions attract our attention like moths to a flame. As with parasomnia, we are held helplessly captive to these perturbing dreams.
