The corridors of a Cronenberg club, a rave with monstrous aliens and hypnotic BPMs: a psychotronic hell. With My Trip, Bjarne Melgaard summons DMT (a drug secreted by the brain), a visit to the dark web and nightmarish visions of social networks. Dante 4.0.
From 16 years old
Simulating the experience of taking dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a powerful hallucinogen, My Trip is a dark and liberating work inhabited by psychedelic monsters, bright colors and hypnotic electronic music. Created in collaboration with Acute Art, the work of Norwegian contemporary artist Bjarne Melgaard addresses the overload of information, its invasion of all aspects of our daily lives and resulting feelings of apathy and boredom.
