We were invited by the KunstBaustelle to create an exhibiton in train station Geltendorf. We designed and constructed a large-scale cardboard scenography.
The project explored the experience ofWaiting . We positioned it as the inverse of the “hero’s journey”. We invited local participants and audience for a workshopseries, to engage with stillness, and self-perception rather than action and progression.
The exhibition was made during COVID and we worked in a trainstation near a refugee camp, this made the waiting theme even more urgent.
With the participants we developed scenes, sculptures, collage and photography. The result a public walk-through exhibition, open to the public for three weeks. Many people waiting for their next train visited the exhibition!
