PARK PROJECT BERLIN
A virtual museum of parks and public spaces in Berlin and beyond.
Portraits of parks, the people who use them, the artifacts you find there, and the stories they tell.
PARK PROJECT BERLIN is a place to get quiet, reflect and feel grounded. It is a series about finding the beauty in stillness and struggle. It is about listening. Listening to nature. Listening to traces of history. Listening to the trees. Listening to the self. And listening to our fellow humans, both dead and alive.
PARK PROJECT BERLIN is a multi-year multimedia project, creating a snapshot of Berlin 30+ years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Filming the parks of Berlin and the people who use them while exploring the traces of history left behind.
Through videos and conversations I explore the importance of public space and the role that parks play in our society. The website contains over 50 videos, reflecting the visions of both old and new residents of Berlin. It shows the dynamics that have changed and continue to change Berlin.
