The World Within - PBF05 / Alisa Martynova
21 January - 27 March 2021
While in quarantine, Alisa Martynova realised that her dreams have become more vivid, colourful, and even more surrealist and incomprehensible than usual.
Her partner keeps a diary of their days in lockdown, and she decides to accompany his text with her photographs. These images “pictorize” their dreams and emotions. They look inward and enable her to reconnect with herself, because dreams are a representation of the mind’s infinite resources. It has been, she says, an opportunity to follow the example of the French poet Saint-Pol-Roux who, each evening when going to sleep, would place a notice on his door saying “Poet at work”.
