In-Somnia was conceived for Idorsia's launch of an innovative insomnia drug — designed to help clinicians and specialists understand the emotional reality of living with a chronic sleep condition, rather than merely presenting clinical data.

Inspired by Dante's journey, the installation consisted of six multi-sensory stations at Venice's Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal, blending sound, tactile sensation and imagery to evoke the liminal world between wakefulness and sleep. 200 guests, 30 speakers, and an out-of-time dimension within a scientific conference.

Sleep is the golden chain that ties health and our bodies together. thomas dekker
