Though many differences in their work exist, there are also remarkable correspondences, including a strangely gripping, shared dream space. “The title of this book comes from an observation made by Woodman that photography could be a place ‘for the viewer to dream in,’ that her photographs do not ‘record reality [but] offer images as an alternative to everyday life,’” former NPG photography curator Magdalene Keaney writes. “This sentence describes not only the intention to depict an experience of a vision, fantasy or the subconscious, but is also an invitation for the viewers themselves to dream.”
