    REM | 2011 - 2018

Wakefulness and sleeping are main states of living organism. Waking state is the period of operational acts when we can consciously react to the outside world. Otherwise the sleeping period seems only the absence of activity for those who are awake. We spend almost a third of our lives with sleeping, one of its important period is the R.E.M. phase, the time of dreams. This change of our consciousness is cared by the mankind for thousands of years, but there is still no exact answer for the question: Why are we dreaming, and why exactly that? This series contains pictures where the inner spaces of dreams of a person are exteriorized around the dreamer, while his physical body stays displayed on the level of reality.
