Traumgedanken
Maria Fischer 

“The book “Traumgedanken” (‘Thoughts on dreams’) contains a collection of literary, philosophical, psychological and scientific texts which provide an insight into different dream theories.

To ease the access to the elusive topic, the book is designed as a model of a dream about dreaming. Analogue to a dream, where pieces of reality are assembled to build a story, it brings different text excerpts together. They are connected by threads which tie in with certain key words. The threads visualise the confusion and fragility of dreams.

On five pages there are illustrations made out of thread. Their shape and color relies on the key words on the opposite page. This way an abstract image of the dream about dreaming is generated.

In addition there are five pages where a significant excerpt from a text of the opposite page is stitched into the paper. It is not legible because the type’s actual surface is inside the folded page. This expresses the mysteriousness of dreams and the aspect of dream interpretation.”

Home, 2011. Found road maps, glue. 

This piece consists of two road maps of Eau Claire, Wisconsin (which I found a whole stack of in the printmaking studio). I cut out text from one, and then positioned the second one under it at a different angle. The text reads ‘No place like no place.’

I thought it’d be fitting to post this now, because I’ll be home tomorrow! Massachusetts here I come.
