Garten der Träume
Equipped with headphones and a smartphone, visitors become dreamwalkers as they stroll up Neumarkt in Zurich towards Hirschengraben. They are accompanied by two voices narrating their dreams. And as they narrate, these dreams transform into auditory landscapes flooding the Neumarkt, unsettling the experience of the old-town evening tranquility.
Once they reach the Rechberggarten, they are released by the voice, and the walkers immerse themselves in waves of others' dreams. They let themselves drift, carried from voice to voice, falling into a pit full of lions, escaping into a diving vacation to Stockholm, or finding themselves back in their grandmother's house. A polyphony of images intertwines. The dreams influence and overwrite each other, assembling anew. A different, expanded, dreamlike reality of voices, narratives, and sounds envelops the garden - A listening garden of dreams.
