Ashes of Dreams is a photobook that emerges from the act of rephotographing cinematic scenes as if they were fragments of dreams. These are images that do not form a narrative but operate through suspension, lapses, and superimpositions. The series is built through the manipulation of these images, which are blurred, overlaid, and distorted until they lose their original sharpness and begin to function as visual residues. The title, taken from the lyrics of a song written by Caetano Veloso, evokes the image of something that has already faded. A dream that ended before arrival, leaving only traces behind. Among the main references for the work are Henri Bergson’s theories of time and memory, particularly his idea that memory is not situated in the past but projects itself onto the present. The project also draws on the readings of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, who interpreted dreams as expressions of repressed desires or the collective unconscious, as well as Vilém Flusser’s reflections on technical images as extensions of human imagination that dream and remember on our behalf. Ashes of Dreams is part of a line of research that considers the image through its invisible layers—its memory, its origin, and its persistence. It proposes a reading experience that resembles the recollection of a dream: fragmented, shifting, in which each image carries something that escapes language.
