Oneiric Kitchen
Oneiric Kitchen emerges from a collaboration between Susie Cunningham, a wellbeing practitioner, and Chiemi Shimada, an artist-filmmaker. Weaving together therapeutic cooking workshops and conversations on rest, the film reflects on the thresholds of sleep and sleeplessness. It forms part of an ongoing research enquiry into the phenomenon of sleep and the complexities of sleep disorders.
