Spectra | Salons are back! In-disciplinary evenings across performance and visual art hosted by TILT at our studio and at the Salon of Marci Panis in Amsterdam.
The 2025 edition follows the development of LUNARIS, a performative-cinematic multiverse by Andrea Božić, Julia Willms and Billy Mullaney | TILT, created in collaboration with the Premonitions Agency — a specufictional organization that collects citizens’ dreams and intervenes in them to influence waking reality.
The LUNARIS world encompasses performances, installations, and a growing dream archive that explore the intersections of spectatorship, imagination and digital transformation. Drawing from dream logic, gameplay and quantum theory, we treat dreams as cultural archives where social, political, and philosophical tensions unfold in “dream-logic” form. Our collaboration with the Premonitions Agency reimagines the bureaucratic study of dreams as a performative interface between art, research and speculation.
With Spectra | Salons we open up a space for in-progress sessions, experiments, and conversations following our and our guests’ ongoing artistic research.
At Marci Panis in Amsterdam.

Dream Archive: Live Collection
Hosted by Andrea Božić, Billy Mullaney & Julia Willms | TILT in collaboration with the Premonitions Agency
Dreamer: Victoria Perez Royo
19.45–20.45 hrs
A Conversation about Dreaming Communities with Victoria Perez Royo
Dream Archive: Live Collection is a performative dream-collecting session. Several Agents guide the dreamer to embody, navigate and visualize it, separating dream image from dreamer’s subjectivity. Each session is live, unique and improvised. Participants may join actively or simply observe — no dream recollection required.
This edition features a dream by Victoria Perez Royo, followed by a discussion on her research and curatorial project Dreaming Communities.
The project reflects on data collection practices disguised as personal growth, while offering a playful, embodied way to engage with dream realities.

Salon 2 — The Agony and the Ecstasy of American Football as Enthusiastically Explained by Billy Mullaney
16 November 2025, 17.00 hrs
The Agony and the Ecstasy of American Football as Enthusiastically Explained by Billy Mullaney is an improvised dialogue where Billy frantically attempts explaining the interconnected and often abstruse rules and culture of American football to Julia as she drinks wine on the couch. Perhaps less about football and more about the aesthetics of languages and knowledges, TAATEOAFAEEBBM is Billy’s latest dispatch from ongoing research into gushing as a contemporary mode of verbal address. We’ll go for a couple hours and then completely legally catch a 7pm game.
With Billy Mullaney and Julia Willms
