wirklich unwirklich

between Reality and Dream

The language of dreaming is a universal language. Everyone identifies with it, whichever culture they come from. Dreams don‘t follow the rules of waking life. They often blend reality and imagination, creating scenarios that are both familiar and surreal. Dreams bypass the ordinary sequence of events, reflecting their unique, fluid nature. They often jump from one scene to another without any clear transition, merging past experiences, present thoughts, and future hopes into a single, vivid tapestry. This fluidity allows our minds to explore ideas and emotions in ways that are not bound by the constraints of reality.

Where does reality end and the surreal begin? This question is the essence of wirklich unwirklich, a magazine dedicated to exploring the interplay between what is real and what is dreamlike.

Through photography and typography, we explore this topic across four chapters. Each chapter focuses on a specific dream scenario, from rural idylls and urban anonymity to nightmares and pure bliss. Our aim is to illustrate the diverse and intricate ways in which reality and dreams intertwine, offering a visual and conceptual exploration of their complex relationships.
