Abstract

The archive of pandemic dreams, which points to the recurrence of the person and the house, shifts from the mythology of the individual and trauma to allow itself to be traversed by otherness. It is a cartography inhabited by multiplicities and without the stratification of wakefulness. Less as metaphor and more as constatation, the universe of dreams recycles materials taken from the visual imagination and the stories of and about the pandemic.
