Are Dreams Hallucinations During Sleep or Hallucinations Waking Dreams?
artist’s book, published by Folkestone Triennial, 2011
In an apocalyptic trip to the future Davis tells of the world’s financial ills, the ‘graceful immoralities’ of London, and impending ecological disaster… Are Dreams Hallucinations... is a strange and fragmentary tale that feeds time its own tail, echoing for instance H.G. Wells’s nineteenth-century sci-novel The Time Machine and its vision of a future, entropic, post-human and post-civilisational London.
—Lars Bang Larsen
