May I take you away? Into a world you don't know? Which you can't know at all... because it's mine.
Based on the feeling of longing and the desire for escapist experiences, Katharina Simons conceived
a participatory, virtual performance.
With the self-developed staging strategy of Imaginative Pictrue Sharing, Katharina Simons gently and at the same time with "refreshing confusion" (visitor quote) leads the visitors into the images of her - and at the same time - their subconscious. The focus is on sharing a common experience. An experience outside our everyday reality. A virtual experience without any technical support. It is a fantastic journey to inner places of longing, surreal worlds, psychedelic nightmares and dreamlike visions.
​
The performance was created as part of the research project "DIVING BRAIN". The process of creation was supported by the Artists-in-Residence programme, curated by Barbara Bess.
