DESCRIPTION:  Drawing from the subconscious terrain of dreams, Thomas Zipp’s Der Schlaf IV fabricates a surreal landscape. Using each element of his installation as a referential prop, Zipp weaves together a narrative flirting between reality and fantasy. The painting, depicting a vast rugged landscape, is dwarfed by a foreboding sexuality, and the framed and censored note ends in a trail of tiny punctures. Creating a sense of clinical detachment, Zipp’s installation is accompanied by a large chandelier. Made from fluorescent tubing, its design follows an illogical mathematical proportion, reinforcing the irrational within the pursuit of lucidity.
