overview
Vicarious Dreams consists of seven landscapes based on photographs of construction digs that Hatem Imam has been taking in Beirut since 2009.
The digs will eventually be filled with concrete and steel to support houses, which, as signs surrounding the site often indicate, will be 'the house of your dreams'. According to Gaston Bachelard, one main function of the house is to shelter the dreamer. 'A house from your dream and for your dreaming' - Hatem Imam.
