"It begins with a spark, a shadow, a fleeting chimera of a showman’s slight of hand and ends in a dark theatre after a century of broken dreams.
Commencing with “Les Frères de Lumiere Découvrent le Cinéma” and concluding with the bitter-sweet “Unrequited Love”, where a lonely fan sits clutching her popcorn in a deserted picture palace, Theatres of Dreams is my personal journey through over a century of cinema.
There is Fine Art, Pop Art, German Expressionism, French Surrealism, Painters, Photographers, Cinematographers, Matinee Idols and, above all, all my personal dream worlds from almost five decades spent sitting on plush velvet seats in the popcorn-scented darkness."
