Mobilés can be many things: Cosy swinging creatures, twitching monsters and wonderful party decorations. Everything clings together, but each piece is also on its own. wirbeide and you will go on a discovery tour for things in the floating, knot everything together and hang it up.

Only hear you can be here

a performative urban research project

Performances were 30.06.2022 & 01.07.2022

The rainwater retention basin in Kreuzberg is beautiful and ugly at the same time. Here, frogs and ducks live in the polluted water, plants take root in thin layers of soil, and people at the Floating University research how plants, animals and people can share a better life in the future city. If this place disappears because apartments or sports fields are more important for Berlin, what will we take with us? Artists* and students came together and developed performative methods to explore the urban space in and around the water basin, observing through magic glasses, listening with whirring clotheslines, and tracking down hidden signs and stories. “ONLY HERE!” shows our experiences and feelings. We tell stories about ourselves and our possibilities in and with the city in an interactive course.
