Sleep opens the chambers of desire. In dreams, we hear our wishes whisper, says Elisabeth Hölzl.

A journey to the realm of wishes: in Room 204, South Tyrolean artist Elisabeth Hölzl has created an immersive experience with the photo series Desiderio, a bed headboard, and a three-dimensional paper work. In her description of Desiderio, she writes: ‘I would translate Desiderio as ‘wish’ or better still ‘desire’. (…) The birds peck diligently, / disturb the word and the order./consume it, (…) a bare marble table, the memory of a desire (…)’
