THE SECRET OF DREAM - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS
The Dream is not an object to be decoded, nor a message patiently awaiting the appropriate interpreter to reveal its content. The dream occurs prior to every distinction between subject and object, between reality and imagination, between meaning and absurdity. The interpretation of the dream can reach only a certain limit, and this limit is neither technical nor epistemological; it is ontological. What is at stake is not the inadequacy of a method, but the inability of any form of thought to fully grasp that which emerges from the unnameable depths of existence. The dream is the trace of a region where language has not yet solidified into concepts, where being has not yet crystallized into forms.

It explores the tension between identity, visibility, and emotional vulnerability.
