Each person reads on their own and yet everyone reads together. Whether it's a novel, a magazine or books for your studies: take your reading material with you, find a spot in the exhibition space and start reading!

This event takes place in the framework of the exhibition Orlando – Based on a Novel by Virginia Woolf. The 1928 novel Orlando tells the story of a young noble person in the age of Queen Elizabeth I who lives for centuries without ageing and has the mysterious ability to switch gender. In 1992, film-maker Sally Potter devised what has become a classic adaptation of the book with actress Tilda Swinton in the title role. The exhibition of the same name, developed by Swinton, shows the work of contemporary artists and photographers who explore the main themes dealt with in Orlando’s story: gender fluidity, the idea of boundless consciousness and the prospect of living forever.
