Striving for Paradise

The garden equals a place of freedom, a place where everything is as you want it to be.

In other words: Paradise

As humans we always strive for something better. We strive for a paradise like world, where all our wishes come true. We want to escape all the negative feelings we have to experience. We want to escape reality.

But how can we reach paradise? We can immerse ourselves in drugs, alcohol or other things to reach a paradise like state. However that is just for a short amount of time. Is it even possible to reach paradise or will it always be a dream?

For everybody Paradise looks different. It may be soft, it may be silent or full of vibrant colors.

This project creates a multimedia experience, taking the viewer on a journey to paradise.

The project is based on a text created of quotes by Van Gogh. Showing an emotional development from depressed to hopeful.

Additionally a video shows impressions of reality.
