Paper Dreams

In Paper Dreams, Massimo Colonna guides viewers through an immersive, lucid dreamscape where the boundaries between reality and dreamy imagination blur and (un)natural discontinue. Here, paper and water serve as symbolic elements: paper embodies the delicacy of thoughts and memories, fragile yet moldable, while water flows as a metaphor for consciousness — constantly shifting, shaping, and transforming what we perceive as reality.


Colonna’s animation unfolds like a series of images within what we perceive as a dream, each scene a fleeting glimpse of a space that forms and dissolves, reflecting the fine line between control and surrender. Paper Dreams invites viewers to contemplate the fluidity of perception, where dreams, ideas, and memories emerge as foldable, malleable fragments of reality—changeable as paper, yet elusive as flowing water.
