Interaction in the outdoor space
Residential buildings towering into the sky, blue, green, tile look with motif, an empty can of coffee cream jammed into the side exit of Netto.
On our exploratory tours through Lichtenberg, we collected photographic samples and put them together like a jigsaw puzzle (like a Rubik's cube of narrative scraps). The samples in the form of narrow vertical and horizontal strips show sections of Lichtenberg's architecture and commercial (areas) and focus on details found along the way: a painted house wall, colorful articles of daily use, sheep in the pasture. It is the gaze of a visitor, a passer-by, who tries to capture something striking: Vans, shimmering car paint, places of assembly. Stories emerge from the concentration of image details. The different places interact with each other. Impressions and memories become a conglomerate of random samples, a city model (or collage) of layers of urban space and different lifestyles.
