2025 May Edition
Yliana Paolini
Over the past year, she has dedicated her practice to creating immersive and evocative video art installations that explore the depths of human emotion & experiences that delve into complex emotional states.
As a music producer, musician, and painter, her work transcends traditional boundaries, merging sound, visual art, and narrative storytelling.
She writes both the music and scripts for her installations, seamlessly blending her talents to create cohesive, multi-sensory experiences.
Her work invites viewers to engage deeply with the emotional landscape she constructs, reflecting her multifaceted artistic vision. The Video Art Installation WOOF WOOF was part of the Salon Du CAL selection of 2024.
"dream archive...
... was born from the desire to explore a larger-scale multichannel video and sound installation to create a bigger impact on the immersive experience of storytelling." Yliana

"It became an immersive experience capturing the night dreams, some beautiful and some unsettling, using fragmented storytelling and spectral visuals to trace the liminal space between reality and reverie., and leaving an emotional trace or reflecting internalized fears and unresolved emotions.
In contrast, a waking day's nightmare addresses some chaos and incidents in our society and how they deeply affect our experiences and reality or even our destiny.
Through a series of intimate video portraits projected on floating fabrics, accompanied by an immersive electronic soundscape, written and composed under the guidance of the narrative, the installation creates a dreamlike archive, one that preserves emotional remnants, whispered confessions, and symbolic echoes in a time where memory is constantly being externalized and digitized."
