Fermín Jiménez Landa
“I want people who live in Legazpi to tell me what they dreamed that day, and then write it down on the paper they wrap their bread in, so that the next day they receive their bread wrapped up in their neighbour’s dream.”
Dreams are profoundly intimate, but also something shared and political. Normally we share them with someone close to us, someone we share a roof with. Dreams are sometimes about our worries and personal obsessions but these obsessions can also have a collective dimension. The idea is to expand the context of this domestic sphere and strengthen our individual stories, as opposed to the bird's eye view of the city.
The project can take on any kind of form during the process. However, besides the main process of meeting, it looks like it will also involve printed paper, some kind of video or photographic documentation of everything that happens, and some bread.
