How many times does the reality match your dreams or the reality restrains us? Or the dreams restrained us or we restrained ourselves as we forgot our dreams? Sometimes we just hide our dreams deep in the heart.

As young schoolkids, we have all been asked to write an essay ‘my dream’. Our answers varied – to be a scientist or teacher, to go to the moon etc. A few decades later, we meet at school reunions and talk about houses, cars, children, schools and limited edition bags. We confuse desires and dreams – dreams become an unreachable world. Shunzan Fan seeks to capture the importanc of the dreamscape, regardless of it’s basis in reality. This series of work are all staged pictures of everyday people who pose in front of ‘their dream’. First a black and white image is made and then it is manually coloured. Although there is a clash between the desired and the real identities and a conflict between the fairy tale, colour and facial expression these ordinary people seem to peacefully co-exist and find their resonance.
