Daydreaming is an online exhibition of contemporary photography that explores themes of artifice and materialism through imagery that is at once fantastically ethereal and distinctly mundane.

Fantasia on a Landscape by Joachim Patinir 716, 2019
Varnished pigment on canvas
75h x 50w in
Ted Kincaid (b. 1966, Chattanooga, TN) systematically subverts the notion of photography as truth in his digital dissections of skyscapes. Working from his own photographs and adapting skies from the paintings of canonical artists, Kincaid stitches together entirely new painterly pixel-based renditions. His art investigates the play between painting and photography, creating a new definition of painting informed by photo-imagery and a new photography influenced by painting.
Lost in My Life (Twist Tie Column), 2011
Archival pigment print
90h x 60w in
Rachel Perry‘s (b. 1962, Tokyo, Japan) photographs in this exhibition are from the series Lost in my Life (2009-2012) in which the artist transforms unremarkable relics of quotidian life into whimsically captivating forms that caress and engulf her body. Perry’s self-portraits that are meticulously strewn with takeout containers and twist ties highlight the homogenizing force of consumerism over personal identity. The artfully crumpled tin foil and overflowing receipts fantastically remind viewers of the endless cyclical acts of purchasing, collecting, and purging of consumer goods.
