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

Venice (at Hand) #189  by Vlatka Horvat and The Premonitions Agency – Dream Log by Andrea Božić

We also present an exchange between Vlatka Horvat and Andrea Božić within Vlatka’s project By the Means At Hand at the Croatian Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale. Engaging with the theme of the main exhibition, “Stranieri Ovunque – Foreigners Everywhere,” Vlatka’s project accumulated artworks from a wide-ranging group of international artists living “as foreigners,” invited to exchange artworks with Horvat reflecting on questions and urgencies of the diasporic experience. The artworks were circulated between Venice and other locations through improvised networks of friends, travelers and strangers acting as informal couriers.
