“I dream of you” is an art project by Luis Beltrán that takes as its starting point the world of dreams and leads us through scenes that are among the thin line of reality and imagination in search of the emotions that guide our lives. An attempt to wake up for a moment, our lethargy, to revive emotions without knowing why, one day we feel, to find within ourselves the best of us and everything that ever made us dream. Dedicated to those who daydream, who believe that without illusion there is no hope, who live in fantasy worlds and do not want to wake up.
“Those who dream by day are aware of many things which escape those who dream only by night.”
~Edgar Allan Poe

60 Worst Countries in the World
In the last five years, the Foundation for Peace compile ranking of countries in the world on all factors that determine the quality of life. According to that list, composed photographs is this series called “Postcards from hell”, because there, a picture is worth 1,000 words:
1. SOMALIA
FSI score: 114.3 (out of 120)
Somalia has topped the Failed States Index for the last three years — a testament not only to the depth of the country’s long-running political and humanitarian disaster, but also, as James Traub writes, to the international community’s inability to find an answer. After two decades of chaos, the country is today largely under the control of Islamist militant groups, the most notorious and powerful of which is al-Shabab. A second faction, Hizbul Islam, rivals the former in brutality — it recently executed two Somalis for the crime of watching the World Cup. Off the coast, pirates such as the men pictured here torment passing ships, often holding them hostage for a high price. In 2009, Somali pirates earned an estimated $89 million in ransom payments.
