As part of an art education seminar at the University of Potsdam, four students and a lecturer made their way to the Alter Leipziger Bahnhof in Dresden. The aim was to determine in a perception-orientated way what would be shown at this location. The students only knew in advance that it was Dresden's deportation station.
 
They used performance, drawing, photography, audio and video to trace what was revealed in their very personal experiences and encounters with the Alter Leipziger Bahnhof. The group was inspired by Walter Benjamin: Benjamin points to the importance of the interruption of linearity for aesthetic perception and develops his understanding of history based on this in his text "On the Concept of History".
 
The exhibition presents the artistic works of a search movement still in progress by Nilgün Corogil, Ida Wuttke, Uriel Klein, Yannik Krüger-Jacoby and Antje Winkler.
