Dream is Wonderful, Yet Unclear is tri-lingual publication – with texts in Estonian, Russian and English – from Milda Books, designed by Jaan Evart. It features contributions from Liisa Kaljula and Philipp Dorl. Using a multidisciplinary approach, including archival materials alongside her own images and installations, Maria Kapajeva’s Dream is Wonderful, Yet Unclear considers the history of the community surrounding a textile mill in Narva, Estonia, now closed, where members of the artist's family once worked. Kapajeva underlines the complex relationship between personal and public memory that together form our historical narratives. The project was supported by the Cultural Endowment of Estonia, British Council in Estonia, A Woman’s Work/ Creative Europe Programme of the European Union and Photo Museum Ireland.

For a limited time only you can purchase Maria Kapajeva's Dream is Wonderful, Yet Unclear through the Photo Museum Ireland photobooks site at a specially discounted price of €25 or 2 copies for €40 (RRP €35).
