As part of ReRouting’s in-motion program, we host artistic walks. These actions invite publics to join temporary constellations of movement that become the artwork. At times, they bring bodies into relation with a place and with one another through the act of moving together. At other times, they unfold as extensions of existing exhibitions or emerge through collaborations with cultural spaces and initiatives, reframing the walk as both an artistic gesture and a method of gathering.
RIPPLES along the Spree
with ReRouting team
29.09.2024 @ 16:00
From Bärenzwinger to Flussbad Garten, Berlin
The walk invites participants to move together to the rhythms of the water and share stories of waterways from both near and far. The Spree becomes a catalyst to weave connections with sources of water that have shaped culture, art, music, history, and more, reflecting on how they influence memory and imagination. The walk is led by Viviane Tabach and Clementine Butler-Gallie as part of ‘Day on and along the River’ an extension of Bärenzwinger’s exhibition ‘By Way of Water’.

Angelus Novus addressed the socio-political issues that can be seen on the face of the city. A collective walking backward performance was realized, based on having the past in front and the future behind. It opened with Walter Benjamin's text on Angel of History and Paul Klee's painting 'Angelus Novus'.
‘The storm irresistibly propels him into the future to which his back is turned, while the pile of debris before him grows skyward. This storm is what we call progress.’
