Fantasmita eres pegamento explores the social dimension of dreams, myth, fantasy, faith, and the world of childhood. The rare and expansive fertility of these realms serves as a starting point to explore ways of dealing with trauma, understanding the relationship with the body and death, and contemplating the emergence of a queer fertility. Its focus on repetitive structures—many drawn from oral traditions, lullabies, and religious rituals—invites us to reconsider how seriality and accumulation can generate meaning beyond the linguistic frameworks we typically use.
