IMAGERY

This project was born from a curatorial laboratory of Yogurt magazine. I adopted this term "Imagery" because originally my research was born from this imaginative technique used in cognitive behavioral therapies, to ensure that people can explore their mental images and process and modify them. My intent was to try to reveal, bring out those images that can be intrusive, nocturnal (dreams, nightmares), mental images and memories. Often they are images that identify us, sometimes they are images that we have created to feel good (often they are related to water, an ancestral image), or they are transfigured and become our phobias. Through questions that may seem simple but that have turned out to be a real trick to make people talk about what really scares them or that they have never shared with anyone: what is your recurring dream? The memory that has stuck in your mind, or a particular feeling that has stayed with you. I asked to send me voice messages of their visual experiences, both conscious and unconscious; I created the images by extrapolating the significant figure that belongs to those people. Although not a real scientific investigation, it allowed me to discover something more about the people around me and about myself.
