Across cultures and history, the archetype of the dream house recurs—a domestic space both familiar and mysterious.

In his 1964 autobiography Memories, Dreams, Reflections, Carl Jung described a dream in which he occupied a large house that was unfamiliar to him, yet he understood to be his. Each room reflected a facet of the self, and moving between floors symbolized shifts in consciousness.

These photographs are an interpretation of the dream house, deploying Jung’s analysis of his own dream as a key. Each self-portrait captures new states of awareness, though self-observation only deepens the mystery.
