Abstract
This project was created using research-creation methods and features a series of four short films that have been exhibited in The Isabel Bader Centre’s Art and Media Lab. In conjunction with the research and writing, the production experience and hands-on participation in the making of surrealist cinema contributed to a more in-depth understanding of the lines drawn between consciousness and unconsciousness in art creation and viewing. This research paper explores ideas on the relationship between the unconscious experienced in dreams and the unconscious production of art, conversing with theories from philosophers, writers, and artists alike such as Sigmund Freud and André Breton.
