Achik' I is a dream sequence excerpt from Dreams of the Jaguar's Daughter, a VR documentary and surreal triptych by Alfredo Salazar-Caro. Achik', meaning "dream" in Maya Quiché, is the namesake of the main character of this documentary who represents the collective consciousness and energy of all those who have made the journey across rivers, jungles and deserts in search of a peaceful life. The work is a glimpse into the world of Dreams of the Jaguar's Daughter as well as a poetic portrait for the people. To create the piece, Salazar-Caro used Unreal Engine 4, 3D scans, and 360 footage. 

Achik' I was curated by Transfer Gallery, an LA-based exhibition space that explores the friction of virtual studio practice and its physical instantiation.
