It's possible to live in another reality, right in the middle of Berlin.Between Past and Future.
Between Yesterday and Today.
Under the overarching theme of “Construction”, this project explores the layers of
constructions that emerge within the self, between borders and in-between spaces.
Between the cultures left behind and the process of re-rooting within them.
Between arriving and growing up and dreaming far from one’s mother tongue, in worlds not made for oneself.
Integration, sation - uprooting.
But how can cultures and traditions within communities be rediscovered, recoded, and
reimagined from a contemporary perspective, where gender roles and social rules...

Berlin breathes—not to the tick of clocks, but to the rhythm of cranes.
Here, the future grows from concrete and longing, while the past whispers between stumbling stones and street art.
Alexanderplatz: a square devouring itself. Who still hears the buskers’ songs when the S-Bahn screams and billboards murmur, “You are not enough”?
Yet in the cracks of the pavement, between the shadows of skyscrapers, the real Berlin lives: unfinished, wild, human.

Prayers from the Street to the Park is an audio protest by Tazir, capturing the sounds, images, and tensions of Falckensteinstr and Görlitzer Park in Berlin.
Between the police car's sirens, and the Islamic call for prayer, and through footsteps and multiple languages, this piece explores resistance, belonging, and the quiet violence of gentrification in the city.

Fifteen years of construction. For the people living on Karl-Marx-Straße in Berlin, it meant dust, noise, and disruption. When it finally reopened in 2025, the local administration celebrated revitalization and restart. This is a six-minute audio piece about urban renewal in Berlin—about promises, delays, and whose narrative gets told.

Come with us on a walk through Forsterstraße in Berlin Kreuzberg. Together, we travel back to the 1980s to explore the often invisible history of Forsterstraße 16–17, buildings once scheduled for demolition, later occupied, renovated, and lived in.

As we move through the street, we recover forgotten stories of housing struggles, everyday life, and resistance, connecting past conflicts to the present.

In this episode, we follow the faint but insistent trails known as desire paths—the shortcuts people carve across parks and fields when the built walkways don’t work out for us. These paths expose a quiet truth: the structures laid out for us, however orderly, often feel restrictive. Our footsteps carry a stubborn urge to walk our own map.

It's possible to live in another reality, right in the middle of Berlin.

ohm is the infinite mantra. it drifts, reshapes, and re-spells itself across time and space.
under neoliberal global capitalism, it drifts endlessly—at times commodified as a brand or company, at times canonized in yoga classes, at times reappropriated, or inherited as
surname, and inscribed as the physical formula of resistance: Ω.

ohm ist das unendliche mantra. es treibt und verwandelt sich, es buchstabiert sich über zeit und raum neu. unter dem neoliberalen globalen kapitalismus streift es endlos weiter – mal als marke produktiv gemacht, mal als unternehmen kommerzialisiert, mal in yogakursen kanonisiert, mal wiederaneignet oder als familienname vererbt, und schließlich...

Who gets to make noise? Using ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) techniques, Polina and Viola reappropriate urban sounds recorded at the many construction sites that appear almost daily around Berlin.
