“Through vibrant colours, I see a world full of possibilities” 

 

Step into Iris’ “Lucid Dreams” and join her journey through a city reimagined in vivid pastels. Explore an “in-between” dreamscape where real-life building structures have been broken down and reconstructed; as have the lines between reality and imagination, photography and painting. Let curiosity guide you across minimalistic planes and leading lines immersed in bright colours, joyously rekindling your inner child.

 

When reality starts to crack, imagination bridges the gaps.

Experiment with the boundaries that “Lucid Dreams” creates and blurs: between physical and digital, tangible and intangible. Each single-edition photo is available in either physical print or NFT format, placing the fate of capturing the one true original is the hands of its collector. Therein lies the dilemma — should the physical print be selected, the corresponding NFT will be destroyed; conversely, if the photo NFT is preferred, its physical counterpart will be sacrificed instead.

​

This social experiment seeks to reflect on the impact of blockchain technology on photography as an art form. What is the correlation between NFTs and physical print when it comes to single edition photos. Which format is more “real” and “valuable”, or there are no differences? How does a change in presentation medium affect the creation process and promotion of photography as an art form?

​

Come wander this dimension with me… where you make the rules.
