Moho Turns People's Dreams into Moving Pictures

Moho is an artist in Seoul who makes videos from people's dreams. Hundreds of people have shared their dreams through an online form. Some stories feel beautiful, but they can also feel strange or sad. Moho wants the work to keep these different feelings together. A dream does not need to have only one clear meaning.

Moho first looks for a dream that brings a picture to mind. The artist then tries different materials for the things in that picture. Something that looks like glass feels different from something covered in fur. Pearls and other bright surfaces also help create the right feeling. The choice depends on the feeling, not only on looking pretty.

The story can change while Moho is making the first picture. A new idea may appear during the work and lead somewhere else. Moho keeps checking that the pictures belong to the same world. The artist also checks whether the dream's first feeling is still there. These questions help the work stay connected even as it changes.

Dream of a Little Seahorse helped Moho find a new look for the work. The small sea animal looks weak underwater and dreams of flying. Glass-like surfaces give the video a feeling that things could easily break. This changed Moho's work from its earlier, mostly flat drawing style. Moho hopes people can understand a feeling inside a strange scene. Different people may not share a dream, but they can share its feeling.
