Shifting Realities with ‘Fools Paradise’

Jess Bonham recently collaborated with set designer Miren Marañón on the personal project Fools Paradise. Intrigued by ideas of shifting realities and the creation of fantasy and illusory happiness, Miren and Jess wanted to create a series of environments that inspired uplifting feelings through deceptively artificial means. The contents purposely contradicts the subject matter, creating a synthetic natural world for the viewer to respond to.

The idea for the design was to use ambiguous compositions to manipulate the viewer. In one hand we have natural an peaceful textures such as sand and flowers but in the other hand we add synthetic colors way too bright to be natural composed by false reflexions to help that confusion but in a perfectly happy world.
