Dialogue Project progress

Finished my sketches for the dialogue project today, and just working out the text to add to the images that will establish or provoke some kind of dialoge or questions or other actions from the reader.  I've thought hard about he types of sentences to use to 'hook' the reader or view into looking a little longer at the background images...  I have had a number of options that spring to mind, such as;

• simple titles
• some dream related text
• some explanatory text of the image
• some unconnected references that might make the reader question relationships
• some kind of riddle buried in the text
• and last (but not least as I know there are many other variants), perhaps I can combine some sort of (what appears to be non sensical if viewed superficially) plays with words...

So I need to choose some form of text from the options above... I need to be mindful that as the theme of the publication has been decided by the group to consider 'dreams' then the relevent choice ought to be connected to that.

My best option I believe will be to make some kind of playful statement, using word play that is both relevent to the image on a deeper level, and which will entertain the viewer to help them more likely to engage with the rest of the booklet.  So with this combination coupled with a sence of playfulness, I am considering using some of the wonderful quotes left to us from comedy.  As the audience is likely to be unlimited nor age restrficted, these quotes must be suitable for delicate sensibilities, yet provide conundrums, paradoxes or riddles that are appealing to a wide audience, both mature and young. 

In our Art in Context and theoretical studies,  we have also been spending a fair bit of focus on Carl Marx and the hypothesis he developed with Engels in 1850... So in playful acknowledgement of this, I have decided to use some quotes from Marx...  That is Groucho Marx And his brothers Harpo and Loui from the 1940s and 1950s comedy films... (I hope this is taken by the viewers in good light, it is not meant to mock the academic importance of our research, but just make a playful connection for the purpose of entertaining and thought provocation).

So my final 6 pieces, based on 5 text and image sketches and on of pure text is as follows;
