Fuco Ueda artworks from 2000-2010 are gathered in this book. "The fascinating thing about lucid dreams is that even though you have some conscious control over your own dream, you are also inundated by images far in excess of your imagination. [...] My work is similar to a lucid dream. It bestows the joy of being carried away by a flood of images, and at those moments, you get the feeling that you can come infinitely close to places that are not to be found anywhere." -Fuco Ueda
