For this second collaboration with the Anti-Kriegs Museum (see Gesammelte Angst, 2023) artists and writers working in Berlin were invited to look at the city and its current political landscape from within. It contemplates everyday life in a place constantly negotiating the wars and genocides that are happening elsewhere.
The exhibition is on view at the Peace Gallery – Anti-Kriegs-Museum, Berlin.

– Everyday in Bunker Gardens, prints pinned on framed stretched poplin, 2024.
The video by François Pisapia takes personal textual accounts of images coming out of the livestreamed genocide in Gaza and the violent repression of peaceful protests, and overlays them with banal imagery of the city in an effort to illustrate the cognitive gap of witnessing this existential threat from a “safe” place. Such images (which circulate mostly on our phones, or on the news) are often where the violence of war is visible from a city not under siege. By remediating and superimposing them onto snapshots of the city, the artist is interested in drawing out the violence which is perhaps embedded in the urban fabric of the bunker capital. A photo series further investigates this.
