Dreams of Liverpool

Dreams of Liverpool is a video piece about communal dreaming as a crosspoint of different attitudes and thinking.

In this video inhabitants of Liverpool become storytellers sharing their hopes and visions. They come from different age groups and various backgrounds transmitting the codes assimilated from the contexts they live in – from Tenantspin and Alan Dunn, community media project and public access TV channel that has grown its media orientation and encompassed arts, and a youth organization in Liverpool.
Broadcast on the BBC Big Screen in the city commercial centre for two spring weeks Dreams of Liverpool expanded the busy profit-making street and space around with the intimate substance of dreams.

The video was made during a residency at FACT, Foundation for Art and Technology, Liverpool, 2005.
