• UNDER THE BLANKET

    Under The Blanket, Under the blanket is an artistic research project on how to simulate depression. Born from my experience in psychosis simulation, people often asked if I could do something about helping people to understand depression.

     

    In depression, like in psychosis, thoughts seem to be able to become so powerful, that they are experienced as real realities. A thought of worthlessness, is a realty of no worth. A thought of no hope, becomes a reality with no hope. Making the mental state extremely debilitating.

     

    This long term project is in its infancy. This concept drawing is based on the study of existing depression simulations and by collecting descriptions by people with lived experiences. While at the same time attempting to simulate the outside view of depression different from the inside...

     

    The idea is to raise money and organise a hackathon to come to an experience that helps people with no experiences to improve empathy skills...
