Asphaltwelten
go plastic company
“Asphaltwelten” works on the artistic thesis of a utopia: a group that renounces stability and security, a life without walls, without insurance, without rootedness. Being at home in the body, not in buildings. Independent of origin, orientation and opinion. A throwing together of biographies on public but “neutral” ground. How do we feel and shape our own “artistic shelter”? How far does it extend; does it include only me or others as well? How can I carry it, support it, take it with me and share it?
In this final work, the collective processes and reflects on the discourses on the set themes of shelter, living and creating on the street, bodies in public space and their perception(s) that have emerged and been conducted over the entire project period (2020-2021). The result is a participatory tableau that unifies and illustrates the collected theses, conclusions and findings in all their complexity, diversity and contradictions.
