Since I was very young I've been hearing the idiom "ser un somia-truites", which literally means "to be an omelette-dreamer". It is used to explain that someone is too dreamy, not focused on the real world or the important things. It is quite similar to "to be a daydreamer". I have been accused of being an "omelette-dreamer" some times, and this is because I have many crazy-like ideas, maybe not very realistic, or difficult to put in practice. However, more than once I have proved that it was actually possible to make that unrealistic idea became a reality. This is why I love so much that expression: to me it is like they are challenging me. Otherwise, there are many things I wouldn't have even tried to do.  So every time I have a crazy idea I call myself an "omelette-dreamer" (if there are no volunteers), so at least I try to make it happen.  Because everything that has somewhen been done, had previously been an idea or a dream. 

Answering to Lindsay: Well, when choosing the image maybe I focused more on the feeling that the idiom transmits to me, rather than an illustration of all my explanation, and the final result it's quite confusing... The thing is that, to me, all that self-challenging and the belief that everything can be done is even relaxing. It always made me feel apart from the others .It's not too good in the beginning, but you can always try to be optimist and make the most of every situation. So, maybe this image makes more sense: http://jv.gilead.org.il/rpaul/Autour%20de%20la%20lune/images/038.jpg It's an illustration of a book by Jules Verne. He is actually the reason why I am a daydreamer. And Deb, I didn't know that artist, but his work is interesting. I love the paintings I've seen so far. Thank you for the link!

How is subjectivity constructed in the image, and whose subjectivity is constructed?

In the picture you can see Roma girl to advertise milk, when this role is usually performed by a blond girl with pale skin, as a sign of purity.
This way it tests the audience, who is used to that other image, and makes them think about the reason why this picture might be shocking to them. It's a test of the feelings one can have when he or she fist see the image.


What prior knowledge is assumed?

As a foreigner I have needed to inform myself about the situation, as well as the ethnic characteristics of the girl, in order to understand the image. In Spain there is nothing special about a brunette, and it isn't shocking to see a girl like the one in Huhtala's work in an actual advertisement.
However, in other countries the aspect of the girl denotes that she is gipsy, a condition which may not have a good reputation. The Roma community has been long stablished in the finnish territory, but despite that fact, it is still quite isolated.

Making visible in visual art (what does that mean in contemporary art)?

Art has traditionally belong to those who could afford it. This is why most of the artworks we have now from the past are telling us some story about greatness. From the great ancient myths to the royal portraits, we have a long list of themes that form the trending topics on the art history. They tell us about important wars, notorious people, great events, or maybe the almost perfect techniques of the artist.
Even now, most of the visual stimulation we receive are focused in majorities.
Making visible means caring about all those things that we choose to ignore, or maybe we really don't know anything about, and everything we take for granted. It is about highlighting those unnoticed things or people, so everyone can see them, everyone can care about them, and appreciate them.
