Curated by Robert Seidel, the programme “Dreaming with Open Eyes” part of “German Inspiration” exhibition shows 19 different positions of artists. Their short films are little poems with a dream-like quality that is freed from our everyday life.

They are arranged like the stages of an ambivalent dream: oscillating between an infantile playfulness, the strength of a heterotopic, repetitive architecture, dreamscapes embedded in a romanticized nature or nightmarish states showing the collapse of humanity and science. And each of these very unique moments holds the promise to be watched again, while a dream is lost in its pure linearity after we wake up…
