[Translate to Deutsch:] Memories can be dreams

Personal unconscious memory embraces of all repressed, forgotten or subliminally perceived experiences of one particular individuals existence.

Indu Antony is working on this aspect of the memory by community personal collection of memories and exploring ways of retrieving these forgotten realities. The existence of personal memory in public space and the coping of this sudden surprise.

[Translate to Deutsch:] A Dangerous Figure

A Dangerous Figure was a solo exhibition at Somerset house in 2013, an online app, and a series of urban installations through 2014. Imagine if all the anger and frustration of the UK young unemployed were channeled into a single Everyman-type entity. This digital portrait was created by merging over 10,000 young unemployed people, who logged onto the app or visited the exhibition at Somerset House in 2013 and scanned their faces into the portrait. A Dangerous Figure is therefore a collective icon, a machine with the ability to unite all young unemployed people in the UK into a single ambassador, a face that represents their combined potential, hopes and fears.

[Translate to Deutsch:] Trees and birds, birds that do not sing, birds that speak to us of a simulacrum, birds that whispering without need of any song tells us about the substitution of the real for fiction. In that sense the interferences and relationships that are created between the natural and the artificial illuminate with new perspectives what we consider as true and intangible, everything which surrounds us and we accept as real. You watch a tree, the birds that rest on its branches. You let yourself be carried away by fiction.

(text by Alfonso García-Villalba)

Juan Conesa will prepare an installation in the ZK/U garden dealing with the contrasts of artificiality and nature.

[Translate to Deutsch:] Building the City Together - and other book titles

How to enter the knowledge production that has taken place at ZK/U during the years? How is it documented in printed materials and what other sources are there to be found in the book collection of ZK/U? Being in the beginning of her stay, Maj Horn will work with the book collection to get a deeper understanding of ZK/Us history and to find connections to her own art practice. She will present the process in an installation consisting of printed material, threads and notes.

[Translate to Deutsch:] (an)Other Berlin

Collecting oral histories from local residents, we are working to build a three-dimensional quilt that codifies individual narratives into an ever-expanding living history, telling the stories of how Berliners interact with, and relate to, various sites around the city. Locals have identified these sites as integral to both the landscape and the essence of Berlin – even though they are not necessarily deemed historically important by the state. The individual squares of the quilt are tethered together by the storyteller, who has the power to decide where their story is placed in relation to what has come before. Openhaus participants are asked to add their city stories to the quilt, using memory to contribute to the multifaceted and unending tapestry of Berlin’s history.
