Reverie sleep project is based on Synchrodogs’ dreams, those they have seen in drowsiness. Charting that subtle space between wake and sleep – familiar yet remote, the artistic duo have been recording their supernatural visions and then recreating them via photography.
The project deals with the stage of Non Rapid Eye Movement sleep, during which some people may experience hypnagogic hallucinations caused by natural process of falling asleep. Experimenting with those lucid dreaming techniques they usually woke themselves up in the middle of the night to make a note of what they had just seen, gathering their dreams to be staged afterwards.
Based in Ukraine, Tania Shcheglova and Roman Noven are two emerging photographers who have been experimenting with high quality cameras since their perhaps not-so-innocent youth. From frozen lakes to empty theatre stages across Eastern Europe, the duo have snapped haunting images of the surroundings available to them, often emanating a dark or eerie mood.
