Dali’s “Persistence of Memory” & Alice 2

Haunted Planet’s Mixed Reality Series

When you go through the portal, you arrive in the second scene, inspired by Dali’s illustrations for Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.” Here, you can grow flowers, invite butterflies to land on your palms, and feel the magic of mind wandering.

Chapters From Carroll’s Second Alice Book

The scene features three chapters from Carroll’s second Alice book “Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There” with narration by Mads Haahr and music by Svetlana Rudenko with some quotations from classical music.

The Surrealism’s Bloom

Both Prokofiev (1891-1953) and Dali (1904-1989) lived in the period of surrealism’s bloom. French critics regarded Prokofiev’s opera “Love to the Three Oranges” (1921) as highly surrealistic due to its juxtaposition of tonalities and themes, and the choice of libretto. Music consciousness is associative: The perception of time is the connecting element in Prokofiev’s sonata and the melting clocks of Dali – both engage with the subjective nature of memories of the past.
