The text on the poster invites you to "experience what others only see" (except that the English language has no way of expressing the subtle difference between "Erlebnis" and "Erfahrung" -- which btw can be easily translated in your mother tongue as "oplevelse" vs. "erfaring"). The quotation surrounding the picture is from the famous passage in Benjamin's "Über einige Motive bei Baudelaire" where he asks how lyrical poetry can be founded on an experience ("erfaring") for which the chock experience (chockoplevelsen) has become the norm.
