Escenas para evitar las pesadillas (Scenes to avoid nightmares) is a open project showing in different places in the world. A series of installations that invade the space with paper climbing plants, which create a dreamlike space accompanied by projections and some tridimensional scenes. Each of the installations is a door to access a different experience, dream or nightmare, which the viewer has to decide whether to overcome or not.
