In 2013 Itziar Okariz exhibited Diary of Dreams for the first time. In its original iteration, the artist's daily recollection of dreams took on the form of a cumulative pile of notes.
Eventually, Okariz presented these notes as a vocal performance in which she multiplied the phrases, read the words repeatedly, and even inverted their syntax. The oral deconstruction of the narrative resulted in a fourth rendering of the dreams: the transcription of the performative reading into a book.
Limited edition of 250 numbered copies.
