THE ENDS Fantasy Catalogue
◊◊ I am researching various aspects of individual fantasies and their connection to the collective fantasy world. ◊◊
Interviews about the secret world of fantasies
◊◊
These interviews are part of a process aimed at discovering the hidden motivating factors which influence, shape and direct people’s lives. The format consists of a two hour skype audio interview (without video). I want to generate a chain of interviews. I will interview ten people, who will then interview another ten, and so on.
THE ENDS 4
Describe the first thought that comes to your mind when I ask: What are your fantasies? What fantasies do you remember having as a teenager? Try to trace from which film/advertisement/book, etc. you where influenced. Do you have a fantasy about how your future will look like? Do you have fantasies associated with violence/fear/death? Describe one that often appears or appeared in your mind? When does it appear? How long does it last? Describe a sexual fantasy that you have and that you haven’t realized. Did you realize any of your fantasies? Which fantasy? What prevents you from fulfilling a fantasy? Have you had a fantasy that was close to fulfillment, but reality prevailed and the fantasy was never realized? What happened as a result? What is your definition of fantasy? On average, how many hours daily do you spend in the realm of fantasy? Why do you go into a fantasy world? Let’s play a game, let’s fulfill a fantasy for you: we have two weeks, a small budget and I am at your service.
