What does it mean to live in a world that is densely populated by images? While awake, the protagonist tries to document her dreams, in which identities, objects and memories dissolve. With various cameras, she records the surrounding objects and, time again, herself, as if to assure the object’s and her own existence. Images appear as images inside of other images. And even that is just an image. The flood of photographs flashes by like the intangible dreams.
