THEY SAY YOU CAN DREAM A THING MORE THAN ONCE, 2013
Illustration, drawing, animation, duration: 11 mins 47 secs, Edition of 10

Versia Harris uses fantasy and world building to metaphorically address the human condition and explore various theories about identity, land, power, political control, acts and ideas of power and media influence. What are our collective fantasies about ourselves, our nations and our world? How are they linked to conflict, struggle and acts of aggression but also beauty, story and triumph.
