Traumwelt (German for dream world) is an immersive exhibition and performance series that reimagines the gallery as an evolving interior landscape of flowing textiles, moving projections, living sound, and somatic performance. Curated by Charlotte Müller and presented by Snap Collective, the exhibition brings together international artists working across dance, sound, photography, sculpture, and responsive technology. Together, they explore impermanence, memory, and resilience, weaving a shared thread of fabric, both literal and metaphorical, throughout the installation. Snap Collective also presents a curated selection of art books and activations, highlighting the craft and materiality behind each publication. For our closing night, we invite you to dream and let the art move you. Show Details 7:00 PM Arrivals and cocktails 7:30–8:00 PM Live piano meditation by Aida Saco Beiroa 8:00–8:30 PM Intermission 8:30–9:00 PM Live performance by Carly Lave & Johnny Tomasiello Afterwards Drinks, DJ, and surprise act About the Artists Choreographer and dancer Carly Lave performs draped in flowing textiles, her gestures activating a responsive sonic landscape developed by multidisciplinary artist and composer-researcher Johnny Tomasiello. Using wearable MUGIC motion sensors, her movements generate an evolving bioresponsive score, allowing sound to emerge directly from gesture and motion in real time. The performance unfolds within a sculptural environment by photographer and installation artist Rob Woodcox. Aida Saco Beiroa performs a selection of her newest works. She is a Galician pianist and composer known for blending classical training with contemporary, cinematic influences. A Fulbright scholar, she studied across Europe and at the Manhattan School of Music, and now performs, composes, and teaches in New York. Relax and unwind from the rhythm of the city. Rob Woodcox’s installation combines sculpture, drapery, and photography to honor lives lost in recent conflicts, transforming fragility and devastation into expressions of beauty and resilience. Photographer Stasia Schmidt (Ephemerality series, 2024 Leica Women Foto Project Award) and artist Sok Song (Yale MFA) extend the exhibition’s exploration of impermanence and material transformation through sculptural and photographic works. Publisher and curator Charlotte Muller draws inspiration from early modern dance pioneer Loïe Fuller, whose use of fabric, light, and motion helped establish a new visual language in performance. Traumwelt revisits this lineage through contemporary technologies and interdisciplinary collaboration.
