About Daydream Dialogues
Daydream Dialogues (2023-now) is a site-specific artistic platform and process in which daydreaming becomes method, the body becomes tool, and the place becomes partner. At the intersection of landscape, body and collective experience, Peter Vadim invite a poetic dialogue – between the visible and the invisible, the normative and the unexpected, the individual and the communal.

Why “Daydream Dialogues”?
In a time shaped by fixed roles, binary structures and standardised patterns, daydreaming holds a potential to open new forms of thinking, movement and community. Research shows that daydreaming plays an important role in creativity and interior experience (National Library of Medicine).
With Daydream Dialogues Peter Vadim translate this inner process into a spatial-bodily field where participants, place and artist together form an experimental space.
Method and Practice
- Shared Daydreaming: We launch a collective daydream – a process in which participants through bodily exercises, model-building, improvisation and sensory engagement are invited to let the place “daydream with”.
- Embodiment & Abject Mapping: Body and landscape are interconnected via presence and the abject – the aspect that is often marginalised or excluded – and in this process become catalysts for new narratives and relations.
- Site-specific model making & gesture work: We engage with the materiality, topography and history of the site, and develop models and figures that actively invite reimagining of the place.
- Dialogue as Outcome: The resulting work or workshop is not only an object or performance – it is a space for dialogue: between people, body and place, norm and abjection.

Who is Daydream Dialogues For?
- Artists and performers eager to explore new processes for bodily and place-based practice.
- Researchers and academics in fields such as artistic research, landscape architecture, gender- and norm-critique, looking for new methodology and material for the field.
- Municipalities, cultural institutions and built-environment projects seeking collaborations where site, participants and method are bound together in an experimental, sustainable and reflective project — with focus on growth, inclusion and narrative transformation.
What Can You Expect as a Partner?
- A clear conceptual starting point and methodological framework that can be adapted to your place, context and participants.
- Activities that activate the site’s potential — physical sessions, model building, documentation, performances and open-ended participatory formats.
- Visual and textual documentation that makes the experiences accessible for further dissemination, evaluation and activation.
- The possibility to “retrofit” the place: preserving the site’s history and physical conditions, while simultaneously introducing new layers, narratives, voices and movements — in a transformative process.
