The Premonitions Agency - Dream Log is a log from the LUNARIS Dream Archive, an archive of collected, analysied and logged dreams. It is part of the performative cinematic multiverse titled LUNARIS, a fictional shared world - embedded in the ‘real’ world – which we are developing the coming years and which will host a constellation of interlinked works: performances, audio-visual installations and related other works across performance and visual art by Andrea Božić and Julia Willms in collaboration with the Premonitions Agency.For LUNARIS we collaborate with the Premonitions Agency, a specufictional government entity whose task is to collect, capture and analyze citizens’ dreams and intervene into them to affect real-life events.
Andrea made The Premonitions Agenyc - Dream Log responding to Vlatka's invitation to participate in her project and as part of the LUNARIS multiverse.

About Vlatka Horvat's By the Means at Hand
Engaging with the theme of Adriano Pedrosa’s main exhibition for La Biennale di Venezia, “Stranieri Ovunque – Foreigners Everywhere,” Vlatka Horvat’s project for the Croatian Pavilion, curated by Antonia Majaca, exists as an accumulative exhibition of artworks by a wide-ranging group of international artists living “as foreigners,” reflecting on questions and urgencies of the diasporic experience.
The exhibition is generated through a social and performative exchange taking place over the course of the Biennale Arte 2024. Vlatka is inviting artists living in diaspora all over the world to engage in a series of reciprocal exchanges of artworks and other materials, all of which are sent between Venice and other places by improvised means – via various friends, travelers, and strangers who are enlisted as informal couriers for the project.
