We are excited to announce a new season of Spectra | Salons: 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 and analyses 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.

A Conversation about Dreaming Communities with Victoria Perez Royo
About the session:
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. Read more about the session here
The project reflects on data collection practices disguised as personal growth, while offering a playful, embodied way to engage with dream realities.
This edition features a dream by Victoria Perez Royo, followed by a discussion on her project Dreaming Communities:
*
Dreaming Communities is an Artea project in which a group of researchers and artists work around images of the dreaming substance, images that do not have material support outside the body: memories, anticipations, visions, ghosts, daydreams, and night dreams. The working premises are: they are not private or internal images, but rather they form communities around them. They are not minor images, but fundamental for resuming imaginative and sensitive relationships with the world and non-human existences around us; they are somatic images, bodies are always dreaming.
Victoria Pérez Royo is professor of Aesthetics (Unizar), Artea researcher, co-director of the MA in Performing Arts Practice and Visual Culture (UCLM, Reina Sofía Museum 2010-2019) and guest lecturer on various international practice-based research programs. Latest publications: Cuerpos fuera de sí [Bodies Outside Themselves] (2022), Afectividades otras, magias, cuerpos (Other Affectivities, Magics, Bodies) (2022, with Rut Martín) and The Appendixes #1-4 (2024, with Mette Edvardsen).

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.
