Ian Addison Hall is very interesting experimental photographer from Brooklyn, NY (originally from Weston, VA) who has combined a roll of film from a Lomo Action Sampler camera, that had accidentally taken photos inside his bag, with photos of sleeping strangers in the park. The result was the creation of this series of photos he calls W.I.L.D. (which stands for wake-initiated lucid dream). The idea was to combine the subject’s dreamy state with their surrounding atmosphere in order to mirror the effect that people undergo while resting just at the edge of sleep in a public place. He wanted to “integrate the conscious and subconscious by including outside stimuli, like voices overheard in the park, into the dream narrative that they are creating.” See more work below…
