The work is developed from the video work “Requiem for the Dream of Father." Using analog cameras and film cameras and putting down the time on the negatives on purpose make "Dream of Amber" different from typical action stills, it records the filming progress. Aiming to capture the images outside the exquisite film setting, the work condenses some moments of the time flow as the filming went by. These moments linger between documentary and artist self-directed images. Although they show up as the flat light box pieces at the end, the images also indicate the physical participations in a film production.
Sticking the photos scattered and messily on light box installations gives the work some human character. The artist used her own memory pieces to objectify the dialectical relations between reality and illusion during the filming process.
