Nicola Baratto (IT, 1989) and Yiannis Mouravas (GR, 1986) are an artist duo working with Archaeodreaming, a research-based method of artistic practice developed through their collaboration. This experimental archaeology explores histories and mythologies along the overlaps between archaeology and dreaming. Seeking to craft non-linear and poetic ways of storytelling, while entangling daily work with subconscious nighttime experiences. The resulting outcomes are told through mixed-media installations, including films, artist books, and sculptures. They are alumni of the Dirty Art Department and former Sandberg Instituut Amsterdam research fellows.
