Jeanne Astrup-Chauvaux, Oliver Gudzowski, Philipp Preiß In the past year, the contrasted feeling of having a fluid mind locked (down) in a static body, opened new horizons for dreams, highlighting their renewed importance in our daily lives, and even the possibility of their physical implementation in the spaces we know too well. Through this semi-fiction we decided to map personal strategies that we developed in the past months, and that helped us escape repetitive spatial and social situations. Through the use of fiction and physical  transformations of our surroundings, we explored dreamt spaces - which weren't that fictional in the...

Yarden Cohen and Roi Dwek The digital space that replaces the physical one The glass enclosure is an instrument of representation, allowing us to express emotions during times of social distance through the physicality of the digital medium We can Imagine how we re-populate space that were captured empty during the lockdown “filling in the missing blanks” re-inhabiting movement. Our daily routine has altered, The mirror-screen projects ourselves into each other spaces, arranged in columns and rows, minimizing overlapping, still not touching. How does social media embodies closeness when the latter is absent "Isolation and loneliness are not the same,...

Paloma Xenia and a fellow student We feel that these spaces made of tape feel like a limit to us. Our daily life in Berlin is currently limited by Corona. But this barrier also helps protect others and us. An experience that we didn’t know and had never experienced before. Now we wear masks in the supermarkets, on the shopping streets, on the train. By keeping our distance, we can no longer see family and friends as we used to. We have to be flexible in a different way .

Whilst for some this condition can even be enjoyable for a short period of time, for others it might be horrifying. In late 2020 human...

Vicente Mateus, Şevval Öztürk, Nursena Yıldız fem_arc · fem_arc STUDIO: isolation Our intervention is based on light as a spatial concept. With it, comes the possibility to create a stage without boundaries, without definitions, without any classes and categories; a common ground. We took our intense relationship with isolation, how it affected our social life in a new city  and we brought this relationship to the streets, where anyone can experience it, together.
