‘Here I Dream’ is the first iteration of an ongoing project that aims to explore identity and self-presentation as a form of performance; featuring and collaborating with young creatives in Glasgow/Scotland, photographer Alexander Hoyles works to create constructed tableau-like scenes, in which the models’ own personal tastes and aesthetic identity are focused to create a sort of hyperreal avatar of themselves.
“We find ourselves in a time when online re/presentation of self has become more important and potentially more honest than ever before, but also one in which there is more acceptance and support for playful exploration and fluidity within that.”
