Editor and designer Michael Schmelling has selected more than 100 photographs from Hopper's archive (most of them unpublished) for this intimate book, and together they reveal the restless energy and curiosity of Hopper's eye, as well as his unique place in the culture of 1960s America. An essayistic photobook, \u003ci\u003eIn Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e mostly eschews Hopper's iconic stand-alone images and instead looks to distill his archive into a connected set of photographs that offer new impressions and stories. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReferencing Roy Orbison's song by the same name, famously featured in \u003ci\u003eBlue Velvet\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eIn Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e includes appearances by famous faces such as John Wayne, Peter Fonda and Wallace Berman, which are intimately intertwined with Hopper's peripatetic life and his daily use of the camera.

As a photographer, his output was particularly concentrated in the 1960s; the Nikon camera his wife Brooke Hayward gifted him hung so prominently around his neck that friends jokingly called him \"the tourist.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Damiani Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788862086431\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 9.50w x 0.80d","brand":"Dennis Hopper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52491425415349,"sku":"9788862086431","price":42.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_aebbbc4d-e675-4a69-8e64-491573f5a09e.jpg?v=1777996274","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/dennis-hopper-in-dreams-scenes-from-the-archive-9788862086431","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
