Entièrement imaginé et conçu par la créative allemande Maria Fischer originaire de Augsburg, « Traumgedanken » est un livre aussi étonnant que intéressant qui a la particularité de comporter une multitude d’hyperliens analogiques, représentés par des fils de coton de couleur, reliant différentes pages et mots. Axé autour de l’univers des rêves et abordant aussi bien les thématiques psychologiques, philosophiques ou encore scientifiques du sujet, découvrez tous les détails en images dans la suite !

Description originale

The book “Traumgedanken” (“Thoughts on dreams”) contains a collection of literary, philosophical, psychological and scientifical texts which provide an insight into different dream theories. To ease the access to the elusive topic, the book is designed as a model of a dream about dreaming. Analogue to a dream, where pieces of reality are assembled to build a story, it brings different text excerpts together. They are connected by threads which tie in with certain key words. The threads visualise the confusion and fragileness of dreams. On five pages there are illustrations made out of thread. Their shape and colour relies on the key words on the opposite page. This way an abstract image of the dream about dreaming is generated. In addition there are five pages where a significant excerpt from a text of the opposite page is stitched into the paper. It is not legible because the type’s actual surface is inside the folded page. This expresses the mysteriousness of dreams and the aspect of dream interpretation.
