A Device for Daydreaming (2019, 2021) PHOTOGRAPHY, WEARABLE ARTIFACT
'A Device for Daydreaming' reflects on the tension and relationship that exists between commodified and authentic experiences. The series is set in an alternate present, where a hypothetical device promises the activation of a daydream. This prompts contemplation on the source and authenticity of our feelings, experiences, and needs. Should what we feel, experience, and need come from us, ourselves, or be made by someone or something else?
