We caught the Science of Sleep show at the Deitch Projects gallery.
The show was a series of installations of the surreal sets from the film. Many of the installations were interactive pieces, including: a Stephane TV set with a camera you could act in front of and a rope and pulley you could tug to make Stephane's eyes open and close; a piano that composed a mosaic of video clips as you press keys; and a door peephole that shows Stephane walking up the steps to Stephanie's apartment. Fun stuff. You can see more photos on flickr when you click the image above.
The movie, as well, is an enjoyable experience. If you enjoyed the surreal world of Michel Gondry in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, you'll probably dig this one too. Without Charlie Kaufman, Science is not as rich of a story as Eternal Sunshine, but the visual imagery is a delight.
