My work has evolved through different semesters of my masters, this website being the fourth act in the series. My previous works could be accessed through this.
The bedroom in the wonderland is a virtual bedroom space. It’s coming into existence is totally circumstantial. The current global pandemic situation led to rethinking and reshaping of initial ideas of a physical exhibition and with the limited resources, a website was formed to showcase and discuss our ideas.It was quite relevant at this point to explore, analyse and discuss about mental health considering the current crisis situations.‘The bedroom in the wonderland’ becomes a space where the viewer can discover and think about the idea of mental health in an everyday context. This virtual space is framed as a safe space of bedroom where the secrets can be hidden and one can be truly oneself and at the same time create a dialogue on mental health.The idea of an interactive room is very parallel to how the internet works as a massive room which can accommodate very different ideas and talks.
The various secrets that are camouflaged in the virtual room, attempts to raise a dialogue on different things from making choices, the everyday sufferings, body dysmorphia, to the idea of healing and relaxation. How one discovers the various paths, links and interlinks brings forth how life is shaped (social, psychological, personal as well as collective). The bedroom and the safe space becomes especially important during the current times, where one is confined to their room and who gets this privilege and at the same time how the internet becomes the most important tool of communication.
