Let yourself be carried away by the flow of images in Reverie, the new series by Italian-born, New York-based photographer Daniel Bellman (born 1977, Italy).

Bellman constructs a visual path that suspends logic and activates a state of reverie: each photograph carries a metaphysical and subtly haunting atmosphere, but its real power emerges in dialogue with the images that come before and after it. It’s within that fragile, intuitive thread that the viewer searches for meaning, much like trying to make sense of a dream upon waking.

“Street photography feels like dowsing, walking over unknown ground, guided by intuition and fate,” Bellman says. With the camera as his compass, he roams the city without a fixed plan, hoping that the collision between chance and intention will spark something meaningful.

After years of “taking his camera for a walk” with no apparent goal beyond this hopeful, random search, Bellman noticed a coherent body of work was spontaneously taking shape,  “like foliage sprouting from a tree.”
That coherence seems rooted in the idea that beneath the mundane surface of everyday life lies a subtle, transcendent layer that breathes meaning into our existence, a dimension often overlooked in an era marked by distraction and disenchantment.

Reverie is thus an invitation to look differently: to surrender rational control, immerse yourself in the current of images, and let your intuition draw its own map.[Official Website]
