LONELINESS IN THE CITY(Moenchengladbach, 1999)

In Moenchenglandbach the theme was Near Paradise. With the help of the Social Holding of the city a relation was established with five elderly homes. The inhabitants joined the programme in the pavilion, together with performance artist, sociologist, policemen and architects. The events focused on visions of Paradise in daily life. Does it exist only in the afterlife or is it here and now?
