Prompt for participants: Take a picture inspired by the dream of having one's teeth fall out.
project statement
Dreams of Teeth is a visual response project in which participants are asked to engage with one of the most common nightmares--a dream in which one imagines one's teeth falling out. According to analysts, this dream can be thought to anticipate public nervousness, a fear of losing control or general feelings of inadequacy. To imagine one's teeth falling out is to lose one's voice, to feel one's body falling apart, to experience a physical reaction that isn't under our own psychological control. In this way Dreams of Teeth is an attempt to engage the ways in which the imagination can be given concrete artistic form, through discussion as well as in the production of images.
