Introductory text of the exhibition

During several nights the artists Mahmoud Khaled, Stephan Köperl
and Sylvia Winkler met in different locations for talking about
various issues. The first light of dawn signified the end of each
conversation and the moment for taking a photo of themselves at
the beginning of a new day.

The hours between midnight and dawn, this constant period of
darkness, did not only seem to be attractive for them because of
the minimum of disturbance from outside, but also because of the
floating states of attentiveness and concentration along their
conversations.

Choosing a different location for each night reflects on the tempo-
rary nature of their residency in the city and gives an individual
background to the topics of their talk which developed on the spot.
