Category: Riso Zine / Artist Publication
Printing: Riso print
Edition: Limited edition of 30 copies
Size: A6
Binding: Hand-cut and hand-folded
Description:
This zine series is adapted from two animated works previously created by the artist.
The animations are restructured into a sequential, comic-like format, reorganising time and image into a linear, page-based form.
Each copy is made from a single A4 sheet, hand-cut and folded into a small booklet, and printed using Riso.
Because the printing, cutting, and folding processes are all done by hand, every copy carries slight variations in colour, registration, and detail.
These variations are not treated as flaws but as part of the work itself.
Movement from the original animations is compressed into a sequence of static images, where time is folded, repeated, and interrupted—
allowing the work to exist in a slower form, one that can be revisited through repeated handling and reading.

Description:
The Texture of Dreams is an artist book developed from dreams recorded by the author over several years, which are misread, translated, and regenerated through an ongoing dialogue with AI. Each dream begins as a fragment of the subconscious and returns as text and image through this process of mediation.
Rather than aiming for accuracy, the book adopts mistranslation as a method. Language slips, images drift, and meaning remains unstable. Through hand-binding and Riso printing, these moments of distortion and residue are embedded into the material structure of the book, allowing it to function as both diary and reflective surface—a collaborative hallucination between human and machine.
Positioned between memory and illusion, The Texture of Dreams examines how dreams are processed, distorted, and re-authored when filtered through technological systems. Each page records not truth, but residual sensation: what lingers after perception, and what continues to resist being fully seen.
