2008 Summer of Dreams Tour
The dream and dream analysis has been an unfashionable topic in the art world since the 1930's heyday of surrealism. Turner Prize has chosen to reclaim this neglected subject matter for our art practice. Unlike the Surrealists, however, Turner Prize recognizes the impossibility of representing objectively that which is wholly subjective. It is this disjuncture between the dream and the representation of the dream, or more generally, the disjuncture between experience and representation, that motivates Turner Prize's project.

For our 2008 Summer of Dreams tour, we will be traveling to various locations, setting up a booth in order to interview participants about dreams that they have had. Transcripts of these dreams will later be used to restage dream images through performative photography. Using found objects and handmade props, we will create our own interpretations of these dream-images, document them, and mail the photographs back to the original participants. We will also be archiving these transcripts and our photographic interpretations of them to serve as the basis of further bodies of work, including, but not limited to, a bookwork project and an exhibition of the photographs accompanied by the dreamer's texts.
