Adham Faramawy, J.G. Biberkopf, Yen Chun Lin
Within two abandoned water reservoirs in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg, we dive into the two sides of human ingenuity – where innovation, progress, and creativity meets extractivism, commodification, and ecocide.
Adham Faramawy explores themes of migration, colonization, and ecological collapse with their "And these deceitful waters" video installation, where a three-person dance performance with music and spoken word, which weaves together stories of the river Thames and its flora and how they construct, reinforce, and dissolve borders.
At the same time, Yen Chun Lin & J. G. Biberkopf present their "Shell Sea Spiral Scry" sound installation. Along with two opening-night activations, the duo lead their audience through a dripping intersensory environment toward the center of a seashell spiral. Haunted by rhyming intimacies and tales of all existing beings, the coiling portal connects realities, dimensions, spaces, and times that embrace parallel ways of knowing.
"Is it cold in the water?" is made possible with the support of the Hauptstadtlkulturfonds, Berlin Senat, and Förderband e.V, as well as ÆDEN, Hošek Contemporary, Kleiner & Großer Wasserspeicher, and Liquidrom
