Dream interpretations: Part 3
Suddenly, out of the blue, an intense shootout targeting a wanted person breaks out. But where there is no eye contact, there is no danger.
Shown here is a scene from It will be my treasure to have your dreams. This film originated from the 2023 exhibition Das Hotel ein Traum at the Kurhaus Bergün – an exhibition centered on the theme of dreams, where visitors could dream on-site. A total of 14 dreams submitted at the hotel during the exhibition period were subsequently brought together by several artists in the film.

“An assassination attempt on a man is being planned, so he is under police protection. In the park, he is sunbathing on a large rock; he is lying there completely out in the open, looking entirely relaxed. I marvel at how at ease he is, but clearly, the security must be very effective. I see someone in a hoodie handling a pistol and think, ‘Aha, that must be one of the security team.’ But then it turns out to be one of several assassins. They start shooting at people – there is screaming – and they fire at someone lying on the ground. I am sitting on a park bench with my wife, some distance away. It is too late to run, though; it is an open, exposed area with nowhere to hide. I tell her, ‘Come on, let’s look the other way,’ thinking that perhaps they’ll spare us then. Then I wake up, the shock of the gunshots – and the feeling that it actually happened – still coursing through me.”
