Simulacrum Magazine - April 2022 - 64 pages

'Aren’t we all familiar with the deeply personal experience of waking up alone, in anguish and despair, from the depths of a nightmare? Going back many centuries, the appearances of nightmares have been discussed, among others, in art, literature, medicine, and psychology. Though commonly seen as a phenomenon of fear and disturbance, nightmares have served as a great source of inspiration to many visual artists and authors alike. From Bosch, Goya, Burke, Shelley and Breton, to the art movements Romanticism, Gothicism, Surrealism to contemporary art – This issue of Simulacrum delves into the deepest, darkest and most disorienting part of our imagination to reflect upon the many different meanings and interpretations of nightmares that the human mind has provided us with.'

Simulacrum is a magazine for arts and culture that serves as an accessible and high-quality publication platform for students and experts from the field. Four issues are published each year, each time with a specific theme. The subjects are always approached from different disciplines within the arts and cultural sciences, and placed in both historical and contemporary perspective.

Contributions by me, Neža Kokol, Joyce Poot, Niels Noot, Jonas van Kappel, Denise van Rooij, Kim Mulder, Frank van der Wulp, Laure Vanrijckeghem, & Sanne Kabalt.
