Plastic Limits - For the Projection of Other Architectures discusses immaterial components of architecture, duration, transparency and non-transparency and plastic material that define and break through spatial boundaries and places them in a relationship of reciprocal tension. Architecture constitutes not merely a three-dimensional space, but a temporal process that is constantly updated; it constructs itself in the movement and perception of subjects and thus remains mobile: Architecture creates spaces for unforeseen resonances between the designing subject and social communities (bodies in motion) and their living environment. A musical leitmotif functions as structuring element, proposed by the artist and interpreted by a number of musicians like Eleni Poulou, Peaches, Hani Moytahedi, Andi Thoma, Michael Rauter, Eric D Clark, Jan St. Werner, Max Müller
Its rhythmic composition represents a score for cinematic observations of Berlin's urban space, recording its architectures and projecting new ones.
