Dags att bryta egotrenden här och ge cred åt någon annan för en gångs skull. Jag ramlade över en serie bilder idag som fascinerade mig. Kanske har ni redan sett dem, projektet är inte helt nytt, men oavsett förtjänar de lite uppmärksamhet.

Fotografen Jan von Holleben ligger bakom projektet Dreams of flying och på hans hemsida kan man läsa följande:

Crossing the desert on the back of a dog or searching for lost treasures on the bottom of the ocean, Jan von Holleben’s photographs make nostalgic dreams come true.

Jan brings the influences of his parents – a cinematographer and child therapist – to his work. His focus on the visual representation of childhood, ‘Child-History’ and concepts of ‘Playing’, come from his teacher training coursework: he combines these theories with his personal experience and childhood memories. Inspired by classic childhood books as well as modern superheroes, he has produced ‘Dreams of Flying’ since 2002 with children from his local neighbourhood in Southwest Germany – ongoing!
