'Dreaming of Dreams' brings together found footage, archival and self-produced material in a carefully staged composition where fiction, nonfiction and autofiction intertwine. The book follows three characters and their dreams: a Jewish-German journalist who fled to New York, a stationmaster living in Syria, and a hesitant dreamer from a former mining town in Limburg.
'Dreaming of Dreams' is Maurice Bogaert's second artist book. His award-winning 'The Walter Benjamin and Albert S. Project', with a book design by Mainstudio, was published by Jap Sam Books in 2020.
The jury for the Best Dutch Book Designs described his debut as 'an uncompromisingly cinematic report. It is not a book to leaf through. Every page has to be read and examined closely in order to gradually descend, with the director, into the past and reach the climax. Frame by frame, page by page, the story unfolds.'
I have a question about the book:
