“TELL ME A PICTURE”
An evening about art without art

If a work of art cannot be seen, what does it look like? Three people, each from a different walk of life and with a different narrative style, will give an exclusively verbal presentation of a particular work. The picture itself will remain hidden, at least at first. Each presentation will be followed by a discussion of how participants imagine the work to look: What did they see, given that there was nothing to see at all? Only right at the end will the actual work be unveiled – begging comparison with the pictures that have arisen in their heads.
