I DREAMED A DREAM – Chapter 1

Giuseppe Adamo, Stijn Ank, Mats Bergquist, Nancy Genn, Sophie Ko, Artur Lescher,  Túlio Pinto, Anne Laure Sacriste, Antonio Scaccabarozzi, Verónica Vázquez

Curated by Domenico De Chirico
With poems by Paolo Gambi

I dreamed a dream is designed as the content of a certain dream, never revealed, in which various images alternate, like the fantastic reproduction that occurs in the awareness of the content of a tangible experience or the free elaboration of what might be the content of said experience.
The evanescence of each individual work, present even among the sculptural elements alluding to the materiality of reality, seems to murmur tales of dreams that together form a single dreaming chorus. A collective unconscious is thus decanted, but this is not the collective unconscious of Carl Gustav Jung’s theories that works backward seeking an ancient substratum, but instead a dreaming unconsciousness that pursues fleeting lines on undefined backgrounds. Thus, a dream raised to its utmost potency, a dream dreamed made of so many dreams and of the flexible substance arisen from their interconnections.
