Agata Ingarden’s installation consists of an architecture made out of windows, retrieved from an office building in Kyiv. In these forms appear multiple types of objects such as wooden molds, bronze sculptures, textile suites of two designs, modified cycling shoes, and video screens. The room itself has been stripped from the white plasterboard and false ceiling, uncovering a ventilation and an eclectic composition of the insides of the exhibition space.From in between the reflections of the kaleidoscopic, semi-transparent glass is revealed a system of elevators, corridors, and basements, constructing an emotional dimension, existing partly in reality and partly accessible through the video screens. The wooden and bronze objects come from the form of a rescue dummy which is a mannequin used for water rescue training.

The wooden molds are populated with 3D scanned tree mushrooms that usually grow parallel to the ground. Here, turning in all directions suddenly they indicate a different or changing point of gravity and at the same time mimic an imaginary system of internal organs. Bronze pieces, covered with modeling red wax on the outside, with polished insides and oxidized edges, resemble armor. Costumes are sewn together from many coatings with apparent stitches. Playing with the idea of a mold, Ingarden introduces us to different sculptural shells, referring to the multiplicity of layers that the Body, being brought to life in the installation, consists of. This setting introduces the audience to a game-like world.

Dream House – an imaginary program generating a real-life simulation for a group of characters called Butterfly People and supervised by characters called Emotional Police. Sometimes separate, sometimes merging as one character, Butterfly People, explore the boundaries of their bodies, emotional states and communication through dance and non-organised movement. Their efforts and energy, on one hand fueling the entire program, and on the other become a form of revolt against generalised social norms and a way to free themselves from the system. The emotional dimension is a playground to explore the experience of becoming a “being”, the idea of memory.
