This volume gathers the photographic projects developed during the workshop The Unconscious Image, led by Tobia Donà and Emanuela Fersini, inviting participants to move beyond the mere representation of the visible and explore their inner landscape.
The book presents photography as a tool for giving form to the human unconscious: dreams, desires, and hidden fears emerge, revealing those mental ghosts that usually remain concealed.
Inspired by the principles of Surrealism, the images transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, generating enigmatic atmospheres and mysterious suggestions. Here, the seemingly impossible becomes tangible through meticulous attention to craft.
The works presented oscillate between reality and inner projection, creating a sense of disorientation that opens the door to new perceptions. The Unconscious Image celebrates photography’s power to probe the unknown, offering a profound reflection on our perception of reality and on the unexpected that lies within the familiar.
