Nothing More Permanent Than Temporary
BIOGRAPHY

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. Through this experimental archaeology, we explore histories and mythologies along the overlaps between archaeology and dreaming. We seek to craft non-linear and poetic ways of storytelling, entangling daily work with subconscious nighttime experiences. The resulting outcomes are told through mixed-media installations, including films, artist books, and sculptures. We are alumni of the Dirty Art Department and former research fellows of the Sandberg Instituut Amsterdam.
