You do not recognise this kind of dream.
A disquiet stirs within you as you arrive in a place you never expected to be.
The terrain is familiar, yet not, it is a landscape assembled not from memory but from the shifting fragments of your subconscious.
Perhaps you have crossed into a threshold, a boundary where dream and waking life blur.
You feel certain you have stood here before, though you cannot say when or how you arrived.
Or perhaps you are not dreaming at all.
Darkness Only Stays at Night by Simon Bernhardt is an ongoing collection of haunting, dreamlike photographs.
Bernhardt’s images conjure landscapes that feel both familiar and estranged, spatially warped and suspended in a state of disorientation. They are optical projections of a world after its own transformation, places reshaped by artificial forces, yet rendered with an uncanny intimacy.
