Vehicles Dream und andere Träume

The exhibition brings together works by Pravdoliub Ivanov (born in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, in 1964) from the past three decades. His installation “Vehicles Dream”, created in New York in 1998, takes the centre stage. The city that ‘never sleeps’ was the setting for Ivanov’s photographs of people sleeping in subway cars, exhausted by the rhythm of the city that they themselves help to maintain. By mounting the images on small wheels scattered throughout the space, he allowed visitors to rearrange them. Moving around in this way, the portraits appear as a symbol of collective exhaustion. In addition to the work Vehicles Dream, the artist’s objects and drawings explore the interplay between everyday life, perception and imagination.
