Reality & Fantasies

Poster and book cover design for a conference at the Univeristy of Amsterdam. 

The world of fantasy often serves as an escape from reality, its limitations, and its many social, economic, and corporeal restrictions. Reality, in turn, is often desired amidst the delusions of the fantastic. However, the two are not always separate.

This workshop at the University of Amsterdam addresses the kinship between realities and fantasies in the following three respects: relations, transformations, and discontinuities.
