Dreaming in Public

Sleep is one of the oldest community rituals — and at the same time, one of the most intimate moments we can share with others. Before sleep became a mostly private matter—locked away behind doors, separated by walls — it was a collective experience, bringing closeness, warmth, and protection. Today, sleep is often functionalized, isolated, and optimized.

Two Mülheim-based artists—ambient musician Thomas Rosen aka rsn and light and video artist Robin Moedder—create a counterpoint to this: We find a place in the room, listen, sleep, and dream together. Music, light, and video respond spontaneously to our bodies and moods. Sleep becomes a shared moment. An invitation to show our vulnerability together. And to dream sweetly together—for example, of choirs, swarms, and scattered collectives.

Music: Thomas Rosen aka rsn

Light and video: Robin Moedder

rsn is an interdisciplinary art project by Thomas Rosen focusing on sound aesthetics, photography, and the design of sound objects. His work is self-sufficient and open to other artistic fields, focusing on the moment, process, and flow. Thomas Rosen studied media studies at the Ruhr University Bochum. As rsn, he pursues a DIY approach with high quality standards and emphasizes the importance of networking and collaboration. His photographs are often abstract and explore the interaction of light with surfaces, material textures, and the interplay of shadows and reflections. rsn's visual art and music aim to transform perception and materiality by creating a strong immersion through a focus on the here and now. His work follows the tradition of abstract photography and focuses on the viewer's aesthetic perceptual experience.

Relaxed Performance: The space will remain open, quiet, and respectful throughout the night.

You can come and go quietly at any time – as it suits you.

Those who just want to stay only to listen are just as welcome as anyone who wants to stay overnight.

You can withdraw at any time – without excuse or disruption.

Bring your own sleeping bag and sleeping mat – we'll spend the night together on the stage in the theater. You can choose your own seat in the room.

Awareness: Two people of different sexes from the Ringlokschuppen team will be available throughout the night as awareness team, alert and attentive.

They will be there to support you in case of any uncertainties or questions and ensure a respectful atmosphere.

The next morning: We wake up together – with coffee, tea, and fresh croissants.
