Artist Yasmina Alaoui and photographer Marco Guerra love to  tantalize their audience. In their life-sized photographic series ”one thousand and one dreams”, statuesque bodies appear frozen in time,  covered from  head to toe in meticulously detailed,  contemporary Arabic Henna patterns. Captivated by the realism and sculptural quality of each human form,  the viewer becomes lost in an illusion. Each artwork begins with black and white nude photograph by Marco Guerra. Layers of Yasmina Alaoui’s complex ink drawing are then fused with the portraits,  with breathtaking results.
