Share a dream. Listen to someone else’s dream.

A oneiric urban infrastructure. A space for listening and sharing dreams in the very heart of the city. The installation Fillke Pewma proposes other ways of inhabiting the urban, where the life we dream of when asleep can relate to what we experience when we wake up. The result of the artistic, anthropological, and historical residency El Río, this work conceives of pewma (dreams, in Mapudungun) as a technology that affects reality: dream life coexisting with, affecting, and being affected by factual life.

Constructed as an habitable loom, this installation is also an archive and a network for the circulation of dreams. It is a spatial extension of the play Fillke Pewma, developed together with young artists from the urban Mapuche diaspora. In a fictional future—Santiago de Chile, 2092, 600 years after Columbus’ arrival—a flood has impacted much of the country, as the Mapocho river searches for its lost arm. The survivors cling to their dreams as a form of orientation and memory. The installation stems from this premise: imagining the future from dreams, understood as a oneiric technology capable of intervening reality, weaving links, and reconfiguring common spaces.

A digital forest of pewen (araucaria trees) in augmented reality expands the installation into the urban environment. Once inside the loom, a QR connector allows visitors to listen to other people’s dreams and share their own anonymously, as part of a dream network in motion.
