The name of this art photograph is: 'The Blue Books Dream'
Sometimes, I find my inspiration in dreams. Or even in that very place between sleeping and being awake, where everything is possible. Sometimes, dreams find me, and then they are usually more than dreams. I often ask myself if we are all living in a dream and waking up when we fall asleep. Life might be made of fabrics from someone else's dreams. And then I relax. Not knowing the answer to relaxes me, somehow. Then again, we are all able to dream. Maybe we've even dreamt each other into existence. :)
Well, not all of us. Once, I met an elderly French lady in Amsterdam. We were both attending a seminar. I cannot remember how did conversation lead to that, but I remember telling her that I dream almost every night and that my dreams are like films, vivid and alive. She just shook her head and silently said: "Oh, poor man."
That surprised me quite a bit.
-"Why poor man?", I asked.
-"Oh, it must be horrible," she replied.
-"No, it is not horrible. I love dreaming."
-"I never dream," she says.
-"Never?", I smiled, "What do you mean?"
-"Like I told you."
-"You mean you never had a dream?"
-"Yes, exactly so."
-"Never, ever?"
She explained that she's never had a dream in her entire life and that it must be a scary thing to see pictures and events while sleeping. The only experience of dream sequences she's ever had are the ones she watched in movies. I've never met anyone like that before or after. Well, not that I go around asking people if they dream... or how.
I love to dream. Most of the times I remember my dreams through the day. They slowly fade but I still remember some scenes long into the day. What about you? What kind of dreams do you have?
This abstract photo shoes blue books flying in a dream. (American lawyers, no pun intended! :D) Therefore, saturated colours and strong blue. The books are flying over two shapes of magenta and red. The blue dominates and defines the nightish atmosphere. I specifically like the shadows that books create one upon other. They are the darkest element and a source of tonal contrast. Pay attention to the little sprinkles of cyan. I think the invisible fabrics of dreaming must be cyan. This is the dream-colour. Ask me why and I'll have to say that I honestly don't know. It just feels so to me. :)
I love the vignetted corners, as you probably noticed if you follow my blog. They have the power to close the composition and give it a vintage look. I still remember the day when my professor at the academy showed me how to make these in the darkroom. Yeah, real darkroom. I think Photoshop 1.0 just came out that year. I can already hear you laughing, yeah... :P
It is always difficult to add a meaning to a dream, just as hard to explain a photo of a dream. Unfortunately, dreams are, sometimes, just dreams... Only to be dreamed.
Enjoy and have nice dreams tonight! :)
