Crossing the desert on the back of a dog, or searching for lost treasures on the bottom of the ocean. Jan von Holleben's photographs allow children to make their dreams come true.

Jan brings the influences of his parents - a photographer and child therapist - to his work. Inspired by classic childhood books as well as modern superheroes, he made Dreams of Flying over the last four years with children from his local neighbourhood in South West Germany. It is Jan's most acclaimed photographic project to date and has won several prestigious awards. This is his first solo exhibition in London.
