LIBRARY OF DREAMS is a multimedia documentary project exploring how the human psyche responds to life under oppressive regimes. At its center is a VR experience where viewers travel through the shared dreamscapes of ordinary people — a child, a Siberian peasant, a housewife — from the Third Reich, the USSR, and modern Russia.

In environments where speech is silenced, fear is internalized, and social bonds begin to fracture, dreams become a space where hidden emotions surface. Using dreams as both lens and language, the project reveals how repression imprints itself on the collective subconscious.

Beyond VR, the exhibition includes archival materials, interactive audio installations, and dome projection — together forming a museum of dreams, where subconscious narratives bypass censorship to express collective trauma.

At its heart, LIBRARY OF DREAMS illuminates the split between public silence and private truth that defines life under authoritarian rule.

LIBRARY OF DREAMS is a co-production between Less Media Group and Abduct Media.

The project has been supported by the FFF Bayern and the Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung (MDM) Fund.
