GRIMM'S FAIRYLAND, 2022

Grimm's Fairyland was created by Sam Herle for New Art City Festival 2022.

"'Grimm's Fairyland' is a self-portrait and self-reflection, generally focusing on the themes of isolation, comfort, fantasy, and a looming paranoia. In this show I've created a representation of my bedroom, occupied by simple 3D models and 3D scans of real objects from my own room and workspace. I hope it can be an intimate experience where the user can navigate my "room" and belongings, intruding on what should feel like a very personal space. There is also a 3D scan of myself at my desk, turned around as if aware of a presence in the room other than my own.

I've also covered the walls of the bedroom in band posters and artwork that people submitted to me after I put out a call on my Instagram account, and most link to a website or social media from the artist or musician(s) (hover over the artwork for a link to each artist's social media or website).

Enjoy! :-)"
