The exhibition showcases contemporary approaches to art, referred to as 'practice-based research.' At the forefront of defining new methods, practice-based research allows the creative proecess to form a critical relationship with academic theory. Such interrorgation between creativity and theory intends to bring about new forms of knolwege and new creative practice.(Source exhibition catalogue)

The thesis asks: Which techniques denote a film sequence as depicting a dream and how closely do filmic dream sequences correlate with the dream theories of Freud, Jung, Revonsuo and Hobson? In support of answering this question, the thesis investigates what variations in styles of dream sequence are produced by using different combinations of dream-denoting elements. As part of the practice-research, I explore methods for incorporating representations of latent dream content. After reviewing and comparing the selected dream theories, I compare two opening film sequences with similar content, <i>8 ½</i> (Federico Fellini, 1963), depicting a dream, and <i>Falling Down</i&...
