“Dreamy Night” is Delphine Millet’s self-portrait shot for PHPA at the Hôtel Jardin de l’Odéon in May 2013. More of her work can be seen in the portfolio.
“When we’re inside a hotel room, we’re in-between two places. The decor is different from our normal surroundings, and yet, for the night, this place is ours. We find ourselves cut off from the world, alone with our thoughts. We can decide to let ourselves be invaded by thoughts, or shut them out by turning on the television… In this room, I decided to let myself drown in my thoughts. It served as the backdrop for numerous stories I told myself. I felt a whole range of feelings, from euphoria to doubt, from despair to relief. I passed through every state. I took several pictures that night, but only one represented what I felt the day after a night of insomnia, that sense of calm after the storm.”
