The short film Wake up! explores the contrast between dream and reality, with an additional layer addressing social inequality. This video was part of the application program at <a href="https://kisd.de/en/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">KISD</a> (K&ouml;ln International School of Design) for the bachelor degree&nbsp;Integrated Design.It begins with a sleeping figure in a white, abstract space, symbolizing detachment and the comfort of a society in slumber. Atmospheric textures and distant xylophone sounds, recorded with an old dictaphone, create a fragile, dreamlike mood. Destructive audio effects such as bitcrush and overdrive intensify the cracks in the dream and the intrusion of uncomfortable fragments of reality.
