Michael Hoppen Gallery
MECC Maastricht
Forum 100

Through a series of ten pairings, the exhibition explores how urban landscapes are shaped as much by imagination as by design, tracing the evolving ways that cities are mapped, seen, and remembered.
At its heart, Cities, like dreams juxtaposes monumental eighteenth-century town plans—icons of clarity and reason—with the intricate photographic dioramas of Japanese artist Sohei Nishino, whose works reconstruct cities through thousands of images taken on foot during his long, intuitive wanderings. The result is a poetic conversation between past and present, mapping and memory, geometry and emotion.
