Capital City People
Jubilee-Mobile
In our workshops to mark the 20th anniversary of the Werkstatt für Kreative and the 40th anniversary of the Kunstsammlung der Berliner Volksbank, we are building simple mobiles. In the accompanying anniversary exhibition MENSCH BERLIN, we will be inspired by the works and motifs of the exhibited artists.
We then design the mobiles – moving figures that dance through the room. This can be based on sections of the body such as heads, noses and ears as well as observations we made in the exhibition and in the urban space around us: Shapes and figures that we have discovered, as well as memories and experiences associated with them. Where do we come from, where are we at home and where do we want to go?
We make the framework of a mobile from various tree branches and bamboo canes. Then we draw on paper, cut out shapes and assemble the individual elements into a marionette. The result is a floating aerial sculpture that reflects the thoughts, feelings and creative exchange between us. During the process, we discover not only the peculiarities of the sculpture, but also the principles of balance and movement.
