'Within Shadows' by Susan Burnstine

"This body of work explores the fleeting moments between dreaming and waking — the blurred seconds in which imagination and reality collide.

Conceived as a trilogy, this project is presented in three successive chapters, 'On Waking Dreams', 'Between' and 'Flight', which explore three states of mind: dreaming (subconscious), sleeping (unconscious), and waking (conscious). To create the images, I recall a significant metaphor, contemplative moment or pathway into the unknown from a dream the night before. I then capture the fading memory on film that very same day using details from my own imaginings to tap into the collective unconscious.

For these series, I wanted to find a way to portray my dream-like visions entirely in-camera, rather than with post-processing manipulations. To achieve this, I created twenty-one hand-made film cameras and lenses that are frequently unpredictable and technically challenging. The cameras are primarily made out of plastic, vintage camera parts and random household objects and the single element lenses are molded out of plastic and rubber. Learning to overcome their extensive limitations has required me to rely on instinct and intuition — the same tools that are key when attempting to interpret dreams".

Questo è come sognare ad occhi aperti (daydreming), o "soñar despierto" come si dice in Spagna.

Grazie per il video, amico! Mi piace molto! :-)

¿Qué es la vida? Un frenesí. / ¿Qué es la vida? Una ilusión, / una sombra, una ficción, / y el mayor bien es pequeño; / que toda la vida es sueño, / y los sueños, sueños son.

¡No hay de qué, compañero!

"I often recall images and am uncertain whether they came from something experienced in reality or dreams. Images symbolic of transitions and transformations of the spirit, be it human, animal or from the natural world, are of particular interest and significance to me".

Thanks, MM!
