See “Somnography”
What is it?
This essay of multiple-exposure photographs and text aims to convey the strange, impressionistic qualities of dreams.
What problem does it solve?
How can I show dreamlike imagery in a photographic print?
What was my role in it?
I photographed each of the original pictures, and edited them down to a selection of images that worked well as triple or double darkroom exposures.
How does it work?
These pictures are each three negatives sandwiched together into a single negative carrier, and printed in a color darkroom.
Backstory
I made the images some time ago, and recently assembled them into this essay.
