Real arms around me

Having been struggling with regular sleeping nearly all my life, sleep has become a very fragile and precious thing for me. A night full of sleep and especially with dreaming is a pure gift. But I rarely remember my dreams and even if I do, I tend to forget them quickly. Since the beginning of 2025 I started recording myself when I woke up and still had fragments, words or images of my dreams present: Ghostlike text messages to myself, with a raspy voice trying to clasp what was so vividly present just a moment ago. In this one-hour program I work with this recorded material and explore the intimate state in-between being half asleep and waking up, the imagery of my dreams and the associations they evoke. A sonic sleep diary. A dreamscape. A journey into the subconscious.

ABA Air SALON is a radio format produced by Air Berlin Alexanderplatz, a Berlin based artist initiative dealing with the distribution and documentation of forms of collective and experimental knowledge production. The broadcasts come from different locations in Berlin where we organize salons. At these salons we meet with local actors, artists, scientists and other cultural producers to exchange around research based artistic projects and practices. You can find more information about our program at https://airberlinalexanderplatz.de/ and https://spaces.airberlinalexanderplatz.de/airsalon
