Aji Susanto Anom
Recollecting Dreams
“Not all who wanders are lost” J.R.R Tolkien
Question about home, dream and everything between, photography is my emotional escape, I use it as something to express what I feel in my boring life. 2014, I moved from my hometown and started to live in another city for a study, it affects my life in unknown way that I don’t understand but I can feel it. Photography is my mundane poison that haunted my life, my new space gave me little bit a “surreal” things since it hold the same boring feeling, how could be? Its a new boringness apparently. My boringness lead me to escape and destroy my reality and become my own dream-land. Recollecting Dreams is a poet like stories, feels like dreaming, happen so fragmental and scattered.

Equally as dreamy as Sarah’s work but perhaps slightly more disturbing.
Boy!
Talk about nightmare described!
Trapped! Both words and feelings convey the sense of being trapped, clawing futilely to get out, hoping maybe to wake up to something better, but finding oneself escapably trapped. With one exception: the black cat. The black cat looks real nice.
I would like to know that cat.
Maybe in that cat you can find your hope.
Now I’ve got to go take a walk – got to shake off this feeling of claustrophobia, of being trapped.
