“Mama, Bubu & Me” is a video installation exploring the psychological concept of escapism. The installation transports viewers into a dreamlike world where reality blurs with fantasy, echoing the eccentricities of the main character Ludi, who is of penchant for elaborate thought processes.Through an interview with Ludi, the viewer delves into the psyche of its subjects, examining the motivations behind their escapist tendencies.Themes of isolation, nostalgia, and yearning for a utopian existence permeate the narrative, inviting viewers to reflect on their own desires for escapism and the consequences of retreating from reality.
Soundscapes composed of ethereal melodies and whispered voices further enhance the immersive experience, enveloping viewers into an haunting atmosphere.
