Habitat philosophy

Coming from the etymology “to live or to dwell”, HABITAT will try to find new ways to create a living spaces in the architectural façade of Adlerhalle. STADTWERKSTATT Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg will be converted the into different habitats. From listening rooms to live stage, having a garden to sit near the seaside, invited artists and initiatives will open up new meanings to have a space to share/explore/create/experience different ways of togetherness.

Invited curators/initiatives: Alejandra Valcárcel, Barik Öner, Canberk Akçal, Ece Manav, FREYAAlt, Matteo Kramer Production: Caner Büklü, Elif Yildirim

CONSTRAINTS

Video 3 min. / 71 Zoll Monitor (94 x 167 cm) / Mediaplayer / 2023

CONSTRAINTS is a work about overcoming fears, external and self-imposed constraints. Struggling with fate, the fear of oneself, the “animal in me”. The viewer becomes a voyeur, experiencing participation in the sequence of emotional processes that lead to acceptance and healing. The work was initially exhibited 2023 at Kindl – Center for contemporary art.

CONSTRAINTS ist eine Arbeit über das Überwinden von Ängsten, äusseren und selbst auferlegten Zwängen. Hadern mit dem Schicksal, der Furcht vor sich selbst, dem “Tier in mir”. Der Betrachter wird zum Voyeur, erfährt Teilhabe an der Abfolge emotionaler Prozesse die zu Akzeptanz und Heilung führen.

JOY

Video 3 min. / 71 Zoll Monitor (94 x 167 cm) / Mediaplayer / 2023

JOY deals with the longing for lightness of being. Playful, joyful circling around one’s own self – casual, pleasurable moments of being alone with oneself. Sparkling in and despite conditions that make life difficult. The work was initially exhibited 2023 at Kindl – Center for contemporary art.

JOY beschäftigt sich mit der Sehnsucht nach Leichtigkeit im Sein. Spielerisch freudvolles Kreiseln um das eigene ich – zwanglose, genussvolle Momente des mit sich selbst alleine eins sein. Sparkling in und trotz Zuständen, die das Leben erschweren.

My videoartwork “It´s all set”, escpecially created for Habitat. Displayed at the ceiling in the life music area. The audiences “darling” as they told me :-)  Again it was Canberk who inspired me and pushed me to create this small miracle, within a short – exciting and sleepless –  period. 

Kitsch und crazy. Lot´s of people. Rave. Do what you want, Anja!

Curator Canberk Akcal

Kitsch & crazy.
Urban needs.
Inflate your world. beach to beach.
Rave the ruins.
Subsurfe waves
trash floating,
drown elsewhere.
Most importantly: Don´t forget to save the dogs.
It´s all set.
