David Lindemann

Adapted from the 70s science fiction classic Logan’s Run, Enter Sandman asks questions about what description of self and society accomplish in our worldview. With what fictions do we narrate our reality? How must the world be organized, so that we can find a place in it? Is the accomplishment found in being patient or in rebellion against the system, and what makes us really happy? The given is cautiously scrutinized, the tried and tested is carefully checked for its efficiency.

A general life limitation of 21 years, on which this science fiction scenario is based, finally protects us from overpopulation and all the horrors associated with it. The rebellion against a totalitarian system sometimes provokes the realization that self-responsibility can also be a burden. Even the most delicate emotional approach to another person – even this is superfluous in Logan's Run, as there is the so-called love-space to maintain the emotional balance - leads boys and girls to emotional uncertainty. With such irritations, of course, we can be certain about who follows the great thinker who has arranged everything so pleasantly.

David Lindemann creates a network of references that provide us with a frighteningly clear focus even in their absurdity. And the three-dimensional phenomenon of Abe Lincoln is always being erased from the room, even though "Abe had written an address for us in Gettysburg, the place where people had fought for a future." The people have only their decision to act. Whether they want it or not.
