Entering an imaginary space inhabited strange organic creatures in which one can move freely in the room surrounded by music. Opposite to the digital spaces in computer games this is a space that one enters physically. But this does not mean that it is less illusionary. The alien organisms appear very fleshy and genuine, almost as if they were leftovers from a biochemical experiment. At a closer look it turns out that they are actually flat.   This flatness is characteristic for the visual culture in cartoons and animations as well as the use of bright, synthetic, monochromatic colour fields. Standing out from the background setting the organisms themselves still become a setting for the narrative in this imaginary world. This world is a space in between the real world and the artificial. It has no name and it will only exist temporary before it disappears again.
