How can a forgotten place, erased by the events of the 20 century, come back temporarily? Kaufhaus Ury is a performative installation, reconstructing the ground plans of what was once Leipzig’s biggest department store owned by a Jewish family. In 1937 it was Aryanized, had to close in 1938 and was destroyed in the Second World War. In this tour, the participants become Flaneurs, through non-existing elevators, the concierge cabin, shop windows, swinging doors, in a spatial juxtaposition of the present and the past.

Wie kann ein vergessener Ort, ausgelöscht durch die Ereignisse des 20. Jahrhunderts, zeitweise zurückkehren? Kaufhaus Ury ist eine performative Installation, welche die Grundrisse des einstmals größten Kaufhauses Leipzigs rekonstruiert, das im Besitz einer jüdischen Familie war. 1937 wurde es "arisiert", musste 1938 schließen und wurde im 2. Weltkrieg zerstört. In dieser Tour werden die Teilnehmer zu Flaneuren, durch nicht vorhandene Aufzüge, Portiershäuschen, Schaufenster und Schwingtüren, in einem räumlichen Nebeneinander von Gegenwart und Vergangenheit.
