THE COLLECTIVE SUBCONSCIOUS AT LATITUDE FESTIVAL







I built a booth in the middle of the woods at Latitude Festival this July. I asked people to relate the dreams they had dreamt whilst camping at the festival.

Despite the relaxed atmosphere of the festival the hundreds of dreams I heard were of course all disturbing; sleeping bags and tents enveloping and smothering their inhabitants; victims devoured by monsters climbing out of toilets ; domestic animals back home demanding attention furious at having been abandoned- that sort of thing.

The small kids' dreams were by far the most terrifying.
