Together with author Paul-Philipp Hanske and designer Aurelia Markwalder we will walk through the immediate neighbourhood of ANNA; the historic ‚Kolonnadenviertel‘. The centre stage of this stroll take the oddities of this city space, especially the urban flora, which has been planted and fenced in by humans but still proofs its wilfulness.

Following the tour Aurelia Markwalder will create a limited-edition map, with the help of which the citizens of Leipzig can go on a discovery tour through the district on their own.

Paul-Philipp Hanske, born 1975 in Regensburg, is the founder and partner of the editorial agency Nansen & Piccard in Munich, where he’s responsible for cultural topics, among others. With his colleague Benedikt Sarreiter he wrote the book „Neues von der anderen Seite / News from the other side“ (Suhrkamp, 2015), in which they detail the psychedelic renaissance. Also published by Suhrkamp from Hanske is the 2018 book „Die Blüten der Stadt / The blossoms of the city“ (together with the photographer Christian Werner), which presents and explains the urban flora during the changing of the seasons. At the moment he is working towards the phenomena of ecstasy in contemporary culture, on which he will publish a book together with Benedikt Sarreiter at Matthes & Seitz Berlin, in early 2023.

Aurelia Markwalder, born 1980 in Basel (CH), has lived in Leipzig since 2006. Before that, she completed her training as a cook in St. Gallen (CH) and worked for three years at the lithographic print shop Stoob. During this time she printed flyers and posters for the St. Gallen art, culture and gastronomy scene in her own lead-typesetting workshop. In 2006, while studying at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst, she met Luise Bartels on a rooftop and since they've worked together as a freelance graphic artist and type designer under the name "Ernst und Mund". In 2017, they founded the multiple award-winning workshop "More Impression" in East Leipzig, which combines analogue lead type with the digital user interface of the computer.

Dreams that money can buy is a continuous series of (so far) 19 dreams, which I wrote down in the last years after waking up. The connection between these dreams are that they’re all narration of encounters with other artists and their (fictitious) work: a.o. Daniel Spoerri, Kurty Ryslavi. The title references a eponymous film from Hans Richter (1947), in which a man decides to sell his dreams – and in which numerous artists and their (fictitious) work are seen in supporting roles and dream sequences, too: Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, Alexander Calder and Fernand Léger.

Dreams are not just a personal and intimate occurrence, but also this place, in which we are connected to a new environment. The dream, in that sense, contains a peculiar characteristic, because it’s not only a private and individual realm, but also creates a place of commonality. This thought frames my performance, for its basis are the dream-texts. The curators themselves will transfer these dreams to the audience. This uses the form of retelling, so verbal medialization, through which the dreams not only become public, but there is also a new narrative level begot between the performers and the audience. As a result the dreams are being disconnected from their author and open up a new plain of reality, in which the dream-encounters and the artworks become autonomous.
