Dreams are a yet-incompletely-understood realm of inspiration and anxiety. But these films are less about the mechanisms of dreams themselves than about the possibilities that open from them. A pea plant, under anesthesia, dreams of history, invasive seeds shed in a coliseum and of its role in 19th century taxonomy. Dreams connect a constellation of forces related to the modern industrial landscape and threats of climate change. A close study of the marks we leave transforms the commonplace. And hovering between life and death, dreams spool out an irrational and ever-shifting landscape of beauty and unease. This is an invitation to hypnagogic worlds.
