The majority of the text below comes from my statement of intent, I have used it here because it shows my intentions of the photobook and I wanted this blog to be clear about what I am doing.
For my photobook I want to take my viewers on a journey through images that represent the union of dreams and reality, I chose to focus on this subject because of my interest in dreams and how our actual lives fuse with them to create bizarre stories and scenery that may represent certain events or emotions or just some random thoughts.
I’ve also chosen to focus on the aesthetic and technique of ‘found footage’ and liminality, I believe these help showcase uncanny worlds that combine elements of dreams and reality to create an image or video.
I plan for the photobook to be random and not in a narrative structure as I believe this will give the affect of spontaneity and randomness that dreams feature.
I have chosen the name “Threshold” as my book title because when relating this word to dreams it describes the space between reality and dreams which is the sole meaning of this project.
Inspiration
One of my inspirations of the photobook design is Yury Toroptsov – Deleted scene
The purpose for Toroptsov’s pieces of work and photobook was to document his journey in finding traces of his father’s memories in Eastern Siberia. His father died before Toroptsov had turned two.
