The Border @Wonderspaces
Since 2017, Carolin Wanitzek’s immersive paper installation has been part of Wonderspaces in Los Angeles, offering visitors a space to escape, reflect, and drift beyond the ordinary.
A surreal forest of blue paper trees unfolds — fragile, quiet, and otherworldly. The Border between Dream and Reality invites visitors into the liminal space between waking and dreaming, where reality softens and imagination takes over. In this delicate threshold, perception shifts and the familiar dissolves into something unknown.
At a time when the world feels restless and chaotic, the installation offers a refuge — a moment of pause, a place to breathe, and to lose oneself in the intangible. It speaks to the human need for escapism, for stepping outside the noise of everyday life and into a place where dreams feel real, and reality feels like a dream.
Here, visitors are invited to wander, to let go, and to surrender to the ambiguity of that fleeting moment between consciousness and sleep — where uncertainty becomes beauty, and disconnection becomes peace.
The art installation was presented at the B Street Pier at the Port of San Diego in California by Los Angeles-based Wonderspaces from June to August 2018. From fall 2018 to fall 2019 it was exhibited by the artist itself at a gallery place in Mannheim, Germany. It has been on display in Scottdale, Arizona, since July 2022 until April 2024.
