CHECKPOINT DREAMYOURTOPIA
- A Border Control Checkpoint to Enter Your Own
Dreams -
In the weekend of the 7th and 8th of November 2009
The Department of Dreamland Security will again
perform immigration procedures and protect the
border between Dreams and Reality. This time not in
the desert, but inside an old swimming pool.
But then slowly a revolution will start happening;
at night various artists will start covering the
whole checkpoint with graffiti. Slowly the original
meaning of the artwork and untouchable dominance of
totalitarian dream control will start to crumble as
participating artists paint the walls and make other
interventions to the existing space, embellishing
and defacing its aesthetic and political value until
the sculpture is altered beyond recognition. As day
turns to night, the already surreal process of
immigration will become even more surreal and
seemingly useless. This process will continue into
the next day with the possibility of the public
adding their own thoughts as well. And eventually in
the evening the Walls between Dreams and Reality
will get smashed to pieces with sledgehammers,
freeing Dreams again! This will all happen
symbolically exactly twenty years after the Berlin
Wall fell.
