DayDreamScapes
by Simone Conti
“Details of a daydreaming, never lived fragments of memory, blurred vivid images, free associations overlapping. Discontinuous visions merged into an ensemble of fragments of the unconscious.”
This work was born and grew up analog. Everything from the beginning to end, was made leaving aside post-production and digital techniques.
This work is about the world of our dreams and dreams are analog by their nature. Dreams are made of gold. Dreams are vivid images that overlap in our unconscious mantled by a golden mesh.
- DayDreamScapes – Sour Tears #5

These oneiric landscapes were composed using multi-exposure techniques letting the light paint up to 35 times on every single frame (the total exposures each frame was subjected is shown in the title of each image). Every shot was done on analog DIA slides and then cross-processed to get the warm amber tones that characterize the artworks.
- DayDreamScapes – Garage Angel #35
pigment print on barite cotton paper finished by hand with acrilyc and oil (93 x 70 cm)
Dreams tend to gradually fade waking-up, to quickly age and lose their enamel and brilliant vividness. Each image has been artificially aged with manual processes and then finished with oil paints to reproduce those sensations.

Have a good night and sweet dreams… mantled of gold!
