Somnium — Marek Majewski
Somnium, derived from the Latin word for dreams, invites readers into a world where imagination flows freely. In a fast-paced society that often overlooks the value of stillness, Marek Majewski's handmade photo book offers a space to escape and dream. With a non-linear sequence of images, each viewing can evoke a different story, creating a unique and fluid experience every time. Marek hopes that readers will enjoy the journey through these visual narratives as much as he did in crafting them.

「Somnium」は、ラテン語で「夢」を意味する言葉に由来し、読者を自由に想像が広がる世界へと誘います。速いペースの社会で静寂の価値がしばしば見過ごされがちな中、マレック・マジェフスキの手作りのフォトブックは、逃避と夢を見るための空間を提供します。非線形の画像の並びにより、見るたびに異なる物語が呼び起こされ、毎回ユニークで流動的な体験が生まれます。マレックは、読者がこれらの視覚的物語の旅を、彼が制作する過程で楽しんだように楽しんでくれることを願っています。
