Just as Glaz is about the ocean, so Marres’s publication Dreaming Awake (House for Contemporary Culture, Maastricht), is about the rainforest. In fact what curators and editors Valentijn Byvanck and Luiza Mello, together with designer João Doria, are trying to do here is recreate, in an exhibition and book, the clammy, sticky atmosphere and all-enveloping presence of the jungle. It begins with what is indeed the slightly sticky feel of the cover material – Balacron, a mock leather which here has not been pasted to board, as it so often is, but is used unattached. It feels like a tropical leaf. The hypnotic power of the rainforest is evoked in dreamy, monochrome images – much darkness and green, against which the artworks from the Marres exhibition sometimes offer a colourful contrast. Doubtless as a solution for the fact that the colour photographs of the images and objects in the installation could only be created at a point when the book was supposed to be finished, they have been printed on picture postcards and inserted loosely between the leaves of the book. The link between botanical books and specimens inserted for pressing is quickly made.The typography is unspectacular but works well. In both form and content the book, more a part of the installation than a ‘proper’ catalogue, is at once an effective evocation of and a stimulating reflection on the rainforest.
