„Can you imagine living in a place that was once an island?“
The main exhibition which will open five days later on Thursday, July 4th at „Die Möglichkeit einer Insel“ takes its title from a video by Mexico City collective „Bienal Tlatelolca“. The selected artists from Mexico City will be represented exclusively with video works documenting the historical layers of Mexico City and beyond. The UOOORS collective from Los Angeles will be presenting nine artistic positions showing their different photographic approach in a special installation format. The images are challenging similar questions from the point of view of the urban sprawl, architectural transitions and the density of living in Los Angeles.
with Bienal Tlatelolca (MEX Artists): Daniel Noreña and Arturo Hernández Alcázar, Morelos León Celis, Balam Bartolomé, Antonio Monroy. UOOORS Collective (LA Artists): Ellen Friedlander, Fatemeh Burns, Juri Knoll, Mei Xian Qiu, Poul Lange, Aline Mare, Neal Taylor, Michael Miller, Marjan Vayghan

The exhibition „Can you imagine living in a place that was once an island?“ is the starting point of a series running over a period of three years beginning in Berlin in 2024, traveling to Mexico City in 2025 and concluding in Los Angeles in 2026 in collaboration with the festival B-LA-M. <-
The first installment is initiated by the two Berlin based project spaces „Die Möglichkeit einer Insel“ and „Scharaun“. The series has its kick-off event on Saturday, 29th of June with the Performance Night „The Bridge“, located in near vicinity of the space of „Die Möglichkeit einer Insel“ on the pedestrian only Inselbrücke. The performances of the invited artists from Berlin, Los Angeles und Mexico City will use the runway of the bridge in public space as a platform to experiment with different formats of confrontations and display between the body of the performer and the architectural surrounding.
