SUSPENDED DREAM
Ciriaca+Erre 2003 in progress series of photographs work in progress

“Suspended Dream” is a photographic series in which the artist immortalises the ritual that unites us and sees us suspended in a parallel dimension, that of the dream, during which we are simultaneously present and absent but also vulnerable.
“I am attracted to the dimension of suspension that concerns time, space, identity,” declares the artist. “We are beings suspended between life and death, past and future, dream and reality.”
To create these shots Ciriaca + Erre crossed the threshold of privacy, asking friends and family if she could capture them in real moments that show them without masks and vulnerable.
In “Woman generation,” we see women of the artist’s family, of different generations, sleeping in a single bed. For her they represent an example of resilience and rebellion.
In “Suspended lover,” the artist tells us, “I portrayed a couple, my friends, who for me represent one of the most beautiful andauthentic couples. They gave me the keys to sneak into the intimacy of their homes at dawn, so that they could be photographed before they woke up.”
