This issue of 100Eyes is dedicated to an American Dream, although a dream a bit darker, and perhaps vague. The term itself is refracted through the images in the magazine, having a different meaning as the images evolve, and the meaning of the language changes as do the pictures themselves. In some places the dream appears to be a nightmare, in others simply a facade, and in other simply an illusion. Once thought to be a family and a home in a suburban community, the American Dream now is perhaps more about fame, as Caleb Cole’s series of self-portraits asks questions about who we are, and of course, who we want to be.
