A surreal installation by Melbourne artist and photographer Pamela Kleemann-Passi

Sweet Dreams and Gut Reactions is a bedroom with a playful twist! Meticulously constructed objects have been crafted from offcuts of hair, bodily material normally discarded. Entangling fantasy, horror, whimsy, irony, beauty and wonderment, it brings into focus the fine line between what’s pleasurable and what’s reviled. It covers many topical areas: illness, wellbeing, body image and personal identity. We all have hair, but used in this way it offers up rich material for robust conversation.
