»Im Orgasmus vergehen Generationen.«

What happens when 18 authors from several generations discuss sexuality and desire together? What if they remain anonymous? In a unique experiment, 'WIR KOMMEN' combines the voices of authors from different identities and backgrounds to create a collective novel.

We consider ourselves enlightened, open and free, but when it comes to our own lust, women and non-male readers in particular quickly fall silent. The topic seems too shameful, too potentially dangerous. This is especially true for women who are no longer young. The members of the LIQUID CENTER group are countering this speechlessness with the collective novel 'WIR KOMMEN'. They have invited 15 female authors of different ages to write together with them under the protection of anonymity and discuss the forms of expression of female desire. The result is a unique collective novel that makes socially repressed facets of female and queer sexuality visible.

The authors: Lene Albrecht - Ulrike Draesner - Sirka Elspaß - Erica Fischer - Olga Grjasnowa - Simoné Goldschmidt-Lechner (sgl) - Verena Güntner - Elisabeth R. Hager - Kim de l'Horizon - I.V. Nuss - Maxi Obexer - Yade Yasemin Önder - Caca Savić - Sabine Scholl - Clara Umbach - Julia Wolf - and two authors who wish to remain anonymous


LIQUID CENTER is a feminist literary collective consisting of the authors Verena Güntner, Elisabeth R. Hager and Julia Wolf. The aim of their collaboration is to increase the visibility of feminist issues in contemporary literature. LIQUID CENTER work interdisciplinary, deregulated and in fluid constellations.


Reading and presentation by the editor Verena Güntner and Sabine Scholl, member of the collective. Moderated by Caroline Faust
