Urs Fischer creates a space halfway between the aftermath of a catastrophe and a surrealist dreamscape. In the midst of a psychedelic rain, the viewer comes across an accumulation of clay Freudian couches, occupied by what could be described as decapitated versions of Manet's Olympia. In what appears to be a still moment in time, the artist allows us to leave reality behind—the countless raindrops invert the notions of outside and inside, giving this show the essence of a dream within a dream. read more.
