SnakeBoy is the first video of the serie Immaculate Dreams. It’s an animated portrait of a real person who creates a fictionalised version of himself, in what represents a journey through his own dreams. It features SnakeBoy riding a snake as a cowboy, truly enjoying being in control of the situation. Immaculate Dreams is about the possibility of turning a dark or unpleasant journey into something luminous and flawless through the exorcism of staging. The main characters will have to stage some of their dreamlike experiences in order to carry out their own “animated portrait of their dreams” and hence portraying themselves in a more intimate, personal way.
