intervention, The T/abor and Urbanize festival area Nordwestbahnhof Vienna, 2021

In the course of the Urbanize Festival 2021, Anne Glassner and Theresa Schütz ask about the possibility of a poetic rebellion - about a critique in sleep, a rationally liberated, depth-conscious attitude to life. Maybe against, probably with the norm, in any case intoxicated by a subtle escape from the status quo, opposing a habitual perspective of everyday life.We can all become poetic norm-terrorists by doing nothing - just SLEEP.

At T/abor - space for art and transdisciplinary collaboration, not far from the Urbanize festival headquarters, a sleep lab will be set up for this purpose. A futuristic four-poster bed slyly awaits norm-critical dream-enthusiastic probands who want to embark on a journey - and thus a creation of a temporary zone beyond reality. Try a Nap and Act!

A camera mounted on the four-poster bed will hopefully not disturb the supposed tranquility....Life-size prints of sleep terrorists occupy the spaces of the speed and efficiency always demanded of us with fatigue and rest. We sleep on parking lots and in house entrances - at least strikingly. In this way, the Urbanize festival site also presents itself as a temporary autonomous zone. (Text: Theresa Schütz)
