Late in the evening, a popular shopping street in Düsseldorf is nearly empty. The stores in the large Kö-Bögen II complex are dimly lit. Above them stretches a 120-meter-long LED wall displaying a video work by Hu Xinyue that shows a sheet of paper with the words “Reading Constitutes Participation” written in black block letters and with red highlighting.

A large LED screen displays a video work by Lucien Liebecke, in which several students stand side by side in a row, performing various movements. The video is partially obscured by thin vertical steel beams of the building, which rhythmically subdivide the depicted group of people. Additionally, branches and green leaves from a tree appear in the foreground on the right.

A black-and-white reenactment of a Karl Lagerfeld series from the 1980s, set in the Berlin club Kumpelnest 3000. Rafael-Evitan Grombelka assumes the role of Gunter Trube, restaging the look and pose directly within the original space. With pinned-up hair, makeup, a short skirt, a blouse, and a feather boa, he captures the visual language of the original series. Mirrors, patterned walls, and a chandelier define the space; visible in the background is a mural depicting a child leaning against a lion.
