In SUPERPOSITION, I follow the dream logic of Surrealism and fuse it with the boundary experiences of quantum physics. At the heart of this work lies an existential question: Does immortality across infinite worlds resemble an endless dream — one in which meaning, self, and time are forever lost?
 

Surrealist dream logic expands perception by breaking the rigid structures of reality, offering a heightened, more-than-real vision of the world. Only within a dream can one exist as both living and dead. Yet the Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum physics translates this paradox into our reality with unsettling precision: every decision, every decay, every possibility branches the real into countless parallel currents.

​

This notion profoundly unsettles our understanding of existence and perception. It turns us, as observers, into the exalted — our gaze determining life and death — while revealing a cosmos in which death, as we know it, ceases to exist. Within these multiverses, we continue to exist, unaware of our simultaneous presence in other worlds.

​

In the steady flow of time, chance determines the moment. As time advances, the probability of decay increases; the certainty of the future dissolves. Consciousness itself appears as a subjective illusion — reflected in infinitely possible realities.

​

The Many-Worlds Theory promises immortality and dissolves the very notion of finitude: everything becomes infinite, an eternal state of being. Yet perhaps it is mortality that renders us human, that gives life its meaning. And if that sense of meaning is lost — do we truly wish to pursue immortality?
