The access of the narrator to public space becomes a template for direction, speed, and rhythm. This is how we orient ourselves when we have lost our orientation. Different city maps are overlaid - those of Beirut and Frankfurt am Main - in an attempt to make the history of these cities experienceable in a different way. In My Imaginary Cities, individual stories and historical retellings by protagonists in Beirut and FFM are mixed together. This allows visitors to perceive their own city differently and gain access to a foreign city.

Through the underlying narrative of people with limited vision, an orientation in the city is conveyed that is not otherwise accessible to those who can see. Thus, the predominantly visual approach to perception in the urban space is questioned in terms of self-understanding.
