There’s a surreal and enchanting atmosphere in the concept of “a dream within a dream,” where reality intertwines with symbolism.
Imagine the profound emotions of touching up eye makeup using a Niagara Falls compact while standing before the magnificent cascade itself—a dream-like experience blending personal beauty with natural splendor.
Similarly, the act of applying blush from a Texas vintage makeup compact in front of an old gas station in Texas evokes nostalgia, merging the charm of a bygone era with a moment of modern elegance.
F.A.C.E. invites you to utilize the refurbished souvenir-style compacts as maps to explore yourself and your terrain through psychogeography. This refers to the act of exploring a territory in a nontraditional way. We can choose to explore in ways that incorporate randomness and spontaneity, and in doing so we may transform our familiar cartography into something unexpected.
Pack up your makeup and adventure around these beautiful locations. Pick a territory on the compact. Commute to it, through it. Touch up your face and notice what shows up in the mirror behind you. Leave it, miss it. Make notes for next time. Dream up the next adventure. Because we all know, you have to leave to come back.
Streaming a marriage documentary inside a small chapel for brides at a wedding venue creates a layered reality, where the beauty of the past, present, and future coalesce, forming a continuous loop of dreams within dreams, each enhancing the atmospheric essence of the other.
Discover yourself through these connections and meanings. Compacts become maps guiding you through personal exploration, and marriages transform into journeys of shared experiences and growth. Embrace the dream within a dream and find beauty in the meaningful interplay of experiences and items that define your unique story.
