When I say you are dreaming, so am I explores the state of simultaneously being awake and dreaming, the tension between illusion and reality, and a resulting dialogue between differing visions and perspectives. While Myth of the Flat Earth examines the inescapable anxiety of wanting to stay ahead, Twilight Dreams of a Papilio Demoleus presents a surreal contemplation on the multiple possibilities arising from shifting perceptions in life. Together, the works invite us to let go of fear and prejudice, and embrace our inner explorers.

John Clang is a Singaporean photographer and visual artist based in New York. Often inspired by the mundane and common place, his art is a rumination of his responses to living within a subtly changing environment. His next major solo exhibition will open on 23 Jan 2013 at the National Museum of Singapore.
