Spielclub Oranienstraße 25

Spielclub Oranienstraße 25 is a city mockup, which brings the streets architecture inside the gallery space. For two months, children, teenagers and adults, together question the issue of political participation and gentrification in the area by performing different characters. City cleaners, activists, shop owners, tourists, a mayor and many more inhabit the city, each with individual goals and characteristics. Accessible buildings, official documents and an own currency create a realistic surrounding to find individual and collective answers to housing policy, raising rents and foreign investors. 

A project initiated and realised by the AG Spielclub based on a project in the 70s at nGbK. I was involved in game development, dramaturgy, architecture and props.
