DREAM COLLAGES

For this project I wanted to visualise my dreams in the shape of collages. For a while I have been tracking my dreams, by writing them down just after I woke up. (this helps me from forgetting them.)

I chose collaging as a medium because I do it a lot in my spare time, but haven't included any in my projects so far. I feel like there is still a lot for me to explore within this medium.

Dreams are also based on the things you go through in your daily life, therefore I wanted to try using photo's I took myself & photo's my parents took to capture my past.

I wrote down the most interesting dreams I had in the last half year. I chose them based on events within the dream & how much I remembered.

They're in Dutch because that's my native language and it is also the language I dream in.

My inspiration:

When analysing these images I notice that they are quite simple, they only put together three or four images.

Also they are mostly a combination of nature landscapes and either human made things or humans themselves.

I also thought this texnique was an interesting way of visualising imagination.

I tried to create some collages while brainstorming in photoshop.

I also created a video collage.

Some sketches...
