THE CURTAIN OF DREAMS. HYPNAGOGIC VISIONS
The result of a discussion between Yann Chateigné and Joachim Koester, "The Curtain of Dreams. Hypnagogic Visions" consists of a series of incursions in research devoted to 'visual images', to use Henri Michaux's expression, from whom the title has been borrowed in part, perceived by the spirit in a state of changed awareness. The argument is articulated in two parts and designed to interact with the exhibition "Of Spirits and Empty Spaces", extending it by giving physical immersion in material common to both the artist and the critic. A kind of atlas for four hands, or even more, making its way through the open fields and obscure lands of hallucination, imaginary perceptions and inner visions.
