DREAMPHOGRAPHY
DREAM. CREATE. BE PRESENT. AN EXHIBITION CELEBRATING THE POWER OF WORKING WITH OUR HANDS.
At the heart of Dreamphography lies a human need that transcends time: to create with our hands. By engaging with the tactile, we not only construct objects, images, and stories, but also construct meaning — a way of grounding ourselves in the present. This exhibition addresses the immortal within us, urging us to return to making as an act of presence, resilience, and vision.”
This exhibition aims to address and engage people in discovering the beauty of handcraft, and to inspire them to begin — or deepen — their interest in working with their hands. A key idea is to invite visitors to create their own models or props, encouraging a direct and tactile connection to the process of making. Within the exhibition, we would also like to include a pedagogical element where young and old visitors, along with creative models, can take part in a ready-made photo booth. This requires staff, but it also adds an extra dimension to the overall experience.”

THE CREATIVE PROCESS
The Mexican photographer Felix Hernandez creates dreamlike worlds through miniatures, props, and a carefully planned process. For him, each project begins with an idea or emotion he wants to capture—often inspired by childhood memories, stories, or cinematic scenes. He then builds small models and environments in his studio, where everything from cars and airplanes to landscapes can exist in miniature form.
Once the models are ready, he uses photography combined with practical effects—such as flour, milk powder, or smoke to simulate snow, fog, or dust. Finally, he refines the image in digital post-production, where light, color, and details are blended to strengthen the illusion.
His process is characterized by patience, craftsmanship, and playful curiosity. Hernandez views his images as a way of drawing the viewer into a fantasy world where reality and dreams meet, turning his miniatures into grand works of art.
