Rainer Ganahl Reihenfolge der Bücher

The series of drawings reflects on the transition from the Austrian 50 Schilling banknote, featuring Sigmund Freud, to the Euro. Created by artist Rainer Ganahl, each piece captures his recorded dreams alongside the banknote's daily value in various currencies and the number of books available online. This project not only highlights Freud's significance in dream analysis but also intertwines personal reflection with economic change, culminating on the day the Schilling ceased to be legal tender in Austria.

The book expands on Rainer Ganahl's public project, which involved six reading seminars held across different countries from 1993 to 1996. Each seminar featured distinct bibliographies, emphasizing the theme of reinventing the coffee table through curated selections of 25 books. This work serves as a reflection on the seminars and their cultural impact, offering insights into the intersection of art, literature, and public engagement.
