Claiming Common Spaces III: Welcome to the Pleasure Zone

This joint project organised within the framework of CLAIMING COMMON SPACES III involves BIPH members providing Kampnagel’s [k] to go app with an 11-station walking tour consisting of performance stops. The screens of visitors’ mobile phones will become stages for a tour created especially for this medium. BIPH members commissioned artists to produce videos exploring the theme »Feeling myself in public space«. This resulted in video sculptures lasting no longer than three minutes, each offering a unique artistic approach, perspective and advice on how to prepare ourselves for the coming post-pandemic era and how to rediscover our own physicality. Visitors will be able to see each of these artistic contributions as part of the tour through the Kampnagel grounds; but audiences will also be able to experience the performance walking tours simultaneously in Essen, Düsseldorf, Dresden and Frankfurt. This provides the unique opportunity to participate in the festival without having to actually travel to Hamburg. Visitors will be invited to use the app on a walk through the participating BIPH production houses. The stops for each individual station will be marked on the ground; at these points, visitors’ smartphone cameras will transform into a performance stage.
