Deja Vu, Already Dreamed is the second of my Deja Vu themed photobooks. It is a collection of photo sequences in the tradition of Haiku poetry, each double page spread is a self contained visual montage. The images were taken over a 10 year period from 2012-2022. I selected photos from multiple genres including still life, candid street photography, post-mortem photography and self-portraits to create a self referential visual vocabulary. The book is 48 pages printed on Mohawk Fine paper with an eggshell finish. 3rd revised edition Honourable mention Paris Px3 Finalist Urban Photo Awards

"My fine art practice, influenced by surrealism, conceptual art and psychoanalysis is based on a lifelong respect and passion for photography. Now, I train AI models exclusively on my photographic archives to push the limits of pictorial plasticity while continuing my traditional digital photography practice simultaneously. I brought back a renewed sense of adventure to my 35mm digital photography. Nancy Oliveri, 1958, Providence, RI is an American photographer & recipient of numerous international exhibition awards, honors and features for her 20 photo books, still life & street photography.
