In March 2014, the American-Swiss curator Alexandra Stock invited Eva Frapiccini to participate in a month-long residency hosted by Al Riwaq Art Space in Manama, Bahrain. The Dreams’ Time Capsule was one of the main projects showcased during the Festival of Public Art Alwan 338. Foundations, curated by Alexandra Stock. The participative event was then installed during for six days in front to the Al Riwaq Art Space in Manama.
The artist Eva Frapiccini and a team of volunteers invited visitors to enter the installation to record one of their dreams. The visitors gave more than 130 testimonies.
We wish to thank all the Al Riwaq team and the volunteers for their support. We would also like to thank all the artists and visitors who shared with us this great experience. Inshallah we’ll see soon.

Dreams’ Time Capsule in Riga, Latvia
The Dreams’ Time Capsule project took place during the White Night Festival in Riga, on September 7th and 8th 2013 and it was open from 2pm to 3am on the 7th and then for the whole day on the 8th. The participatory event was produced by the kim? Contemporary Art Center and curated by Zane Onckule.
More than 260 people recorded their dreams at the festival (Dream is Sapne in Latvian). Dream encounters were recorded in Latvian, Russian, German, Chinese and English. We wish to thank all the volunteers who engaged in the process-based survey. Without their help during the days (and night), we could not have engaged with the audience, answered questions or gathered all of the data that we did. We would like to thank all of the dreamers that patiently waited in the queue to contribute their dreams, and the supportive staff of kim?, especially Zane Onckule and Laima Ruduša.
We are really glad for this successful stage of the project despite of the short time, the archive has engrossed of about 300 dream encounters, which will be sent back in 2021-22. Looking forward to having dreamers feedbacks to delivering phase!

Dreams’ Time Capsule in Bogotà, Colombia
By invitation of the Department of Arts & Design at the University Jorge Taleo in Bogotà, Colombia, the Dreams’ Time Capsule project was staged over two days, on August 26th and 27th 2013 at the university library.
The event was in doubt until a few days before the scheduled date, because the airline company temporarily lost the suitcase (with the installation in it) leaving it in Paris during the transfer from Turin to Bogotà. It took three weeks of frantic phone calls to get the suitcase and the inflatable installation inside it back. Our greetings during this episode go to Viviana, Sally and Oscar Munoz, and Diana from the residency Lugar a Dudas for their support during our journey in Colombia. We always remember “hay que tener fé!”
Following this, on August 26th, an event curated and organised by Professor Catalina Quijano and Dr Carolina Forero engaged with the audience and volunteers to inform participants about the purpose and process of the survey. The audience, composed of academics and non-academics, replied enthusiastically and contributed to the audio archive more than 114 dream testimonies.
On August 30th, there has also been a talk on dreams at the ADEPAC Association for Jungian Studies with Prof. Juan Carlos Alonso. http://www.adepac.org/inicio/eva-frapiccini-2/
Our personal greetings go to Graciela and Duque’s family for their kindness. Thanks to all participants, organisers and researchers. We really enjoyed the spirit of Colombia (in spite of all the difficulties we experienced because of the airline companies!)

DTC project in Cairo, Egypt
From 1st till 3rd July 2012, the Dreams’ Time Capsule project was hosted by The Townhouse Gallery in Cairo, curated by Alexandra Stock and Ania Szremski. Eva Frapiccini was artist-in-residence, under the support of the residency exchange program Resò (promoted by Crt Foundation and Piedmont Region), 2012.
Each day between 10 am and 8 pm, people were invited to enter the inflatable structure, to record their oneiric testimony: either a whole night time dream or a dream they do not understand.
In so doing, about 90 testimonies (in Egyptian, English and others languages) were collected and included in the audio archive: voices that will be preserved and given back to the donors in 2021, ten years from the beginning of the project.
Thanks to Mina Nosky, Dina Sfakaki, Alexandra Stock, Ania Szremski and William Welsh and all the staff of Townhouse Gallery for their invaluable support throughout the Cairo leg of the project!
We would like to thank also the Resò program team and all the institutions involved in the program: the Albertina Academy of Fine Art in Turin; Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art; CESAC Centro Sperimentale per le Arti Contemporanee; Eco e Narciso; the Gai – Association for the Circuit of Young Italian Artists; Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto; Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo; PAV – Parco Arte Vivente; Spinola Banna Art Foundation.
