During Berlin Art Week 2026, they will launch the 1st Kreuzberg Art Film Festival: a mobile exhibition in the form of a Moving Image Sculpture that transforms streets and public squares across Kreuzberg into temporary venues for contemporary video art as it travels through the neighborhood.
Do you have a daily ritual that gives you structure or inspiration?
We don’t have a ritual. We simply try to notice something every day that we missed the day before.
What would you do if time, money, and other resources were no object?
Creating ›Moving Image Sculptures‹ on every continent together with local partners—not as an export model, but as a collaborative project.
Has there been a book that fundamentally changed your perspective—and why would you recommend it?
›The Road‹ by Cormac McCarthy. Brief, relentlessly uncompromising, and devoid of comfort. Yet precisely because of that, profoundly human: when everything else falls away, what remains is care for others. It puts the present into perspective without softening it. After finishing it, the world—even with all its crises—feels all the more worth living in.
What do you wish you had known earlier?
That perception is never passive. We help create the world we see. And that detours can be more productive than efficiency.
Where do you recharge your batteries?
With other people on the edges of the familiar—or completely alone at the edge of civilization.
Is there a work of art you would love to have in your home?
Ragnar Kjartansson’s ›God‹, 2007—in the bathroom.
Which exhibition venue in Berlin inspires you?
Number 1 Main Road. A remarkable project space with an exceptionally well-curated programme, run by two artists with great dedication and conviction.
What fascinates you about Berlin?
Its unfinished nature. And riding a bicycle through several neighborhoods in the evening sun, constantly discovering new places and people.
What’s one item you couldn’t live without?
Headphones. They create a paradoxical space where public life and inmacy exist at the same time.
What keeps you going?
The belief that art can create new situations. We are less interested in the individual artwork than in the moment when people stop, start talking to one another, or suddenly see a familiar place differently.
Which personality would you like to have a conversation with—and what would you talk about?
With Buster Keaton—about experiments and the future of failure.
What do you look forward to when your working day comes to an end?
The moment when we stop working and start observing—even though they’re probably the same thing.
