The Bureaucracy of Dreams
This film work references Ismail Kadare’s 1981 novel Pallati iI Endrrave
(The Palace of Dreams) which facilitates meditations on socialism’s utopian inclinations, the dislocation of political decisions from political realities and the mutual disturbance of both reality and the imagination that such a dislocation produces. The dream narrative helps to sustain a surrealist poetics and to metapoetically counter the damage dealt to the imagination by political realities.
