Anne Glassner and Lisa Spalt: Dream Cell

Vienna Art Week, Independent Spaces

The phone booth becomes a dream cell: a place of retreat, poetic transformation and the collective power of imagination. The dream cell is a sleeping area, projection surface as well as a poetic workshop. It invites the audience to enter a state between waking and dreaming - a space in which reality and imagination merge.
