Student Narrative
"I Dreamed of a Future" is an artist's book about a context where humanity no longer exists and nature can look at itself again. Its folding structure and non-linear narrative reinforce the idea of multiplicity and distance from the dichotomies and duality of human perspective. The interaction becomes an important part of this piece, as it allows us to experience how different elements interact with each other to become a whole. Nature can be seen from different perspectives that are intertwined in infinite ways. This book offers a glimpse of these perceptions and is a place to imagine a future we are not part of.
