“Fragrances of Fantasy: Projection and Imagination”

The image is the result of creative knowledge of the world through the projective perception of images and personal visual models of mental reality.

At the same time, as David Hume said, the most vivid thought still yields to the weakest sensation. But although our thought seems to have unlimited freedom, on closer examination we will find that it is actually limited by very narrow limits, and that all the creative power of the mind is reduced only to the ability to connect, move, increase or decrease the material delivered to us by feelings and experience.

Let’s play with the “Meta-art” cards and, with the help of active imagination, feel the whole range of sensations that are activated through the projection in the image.
For example, let’s just imagine how the selected card could smell in different “projection tasks”:
– morning, afternoon, evening, night;
– in the forest, in the metropolis, on the seashore, in the mountains;
– spring, summer, autumn, winter,
– in Africa, Antarctica, Europe, Asia.

This expansion of the modalities of sensations through images through active imagination provides opportunities for the development of creativity and metaphorical intelligence.
And this is only the beginning of the eventuality of the image as a visual metaphor.
