PRESS Andréa's Comments on Dreams:I have always been an intense dreamer. And I always remember my dreams. My dreams have always given me the messages I need so that I can understand myself better. Sometimes they are dark and sensual, sometimes very emotional and sometimes they are very horrible, scaring the hell out of me. Often I have to fight for my life or I run from something or someone. Dreams connect to our deepest self, our inner desires, hopes and fears. I always analyze my dreams to understand myself. My art is very inspired by my dreams. And in the past years I paid a lot of attention to my dreams' story and then basically created from my dreams. I create music in my dreams, I dream amazing stories and thus I write them down when I wake and use those stories for my film scripts. I use the images for my film ideas, or for my photo ideas. So yeah, I work in my sleep, really. I love it. I very much relate to David Lynch's world and I just know that he as well is inspired by his dreams, and it is those dream visions that he puts in his films. When I met him in the autumn, we talked about dreams as well. Creating from my dreams has taught me to not label myself or be part of a genre, but to just be me and create. Of course my personal art tends to be very dark and surreal, but I love it. I think it is a beautiful creative source. Dreams try to tell us something, so quite commonly, until a certain situation or emotion is resolved, one tends to get the same kind of dream over and over again. I also have the same nightmare vision that I have over and over again. Often it involves me being alone in a decaying and threatening building and I am really scared. It obviously symbolizes something within me. And of course a lot of my film scripts and stories are about being alone in dark decaying buildings... hidden child-hood traumas for sure... |
