Joseph Cornell's Dreams by Catherine Corman
Joseph Cornell is well known for the oneiric quality of his art and films. Many have tried, often in vain, to put into words the strange power of his boxes - toy-like constructions in which playfulness and humour are anchored in profound melancholy. Slot machines of visions', said Octavio Paz. Orman has combed through the voluminous diaries that Cornell kept throughout his life in search of the artist's own dreams. What she found are brief flashes of images and short, enigmatic narratives of illumination - the verbal equivalent of Cornell boxes.'Daylight Noir, a book of photographs by Catherine Corman, was shown at the Venice Biennale and is now in the Museum of Modern Art Library's collection. Les Non-Dupes, her short film, screened at the Berlin Biennale. At Paris Photo, her book Pictures of the Saints was awarded. Her collection of collage poems and pictures, Romanticism, was nominated for a Pushcart Award. The Julia Margaret Cameron Awards recognized her Heart of Wax series of pictures. She is also the editor of Dreams by Joseph Cornell.
