Hunger Dreams explores the subconscious and our relationship between food and emotional nourishment.
What are we feeding? What are our deeper hungers?

The first in the series dives into the world of Haiti. Peasant food takes us back to memories of both family and class divides and the healing, soulful, simplicity provided by the most basic of foods cooked outside.

  • About Hunger Dreams

Hunger Dreams sets out to explore the subconscious relationship between our unspoken desires and food itself. Through intimate hypnosis sessions with a diverse cross-section of strangers, Hunger Dreams surfaces the intricate connections between memories and associations with food and the deeper emotional landscape that food represents to each subject. From filling the void of death to finding a sense of place in ancestral lands, Hunger Dreams offers a deep and human portrait of the human condition and its relationship with our most basic and fundamental act of finding nourishment.
