A Piece of Land
2010
This project was inspired by the present urbanistic development plan for Mülheim an der Ruhr which aims at repositionning the city as a major tourist’s destination within the Ruhrpot area.
The planned renovation of the City Hall, the demolition of the old Kaufhof giving way to a new shopping mall, the transformation of the municipal bathhouse into private apartments as well as the creation of a miniature Mediterranean yachting harbour are all issues which the citizens discuss with passion.
Voices of this public debate have been integrated into a collective dramaturgy which questions grandscale urban utopias as well as the individual visions for a city’s future.
Former customers, new tenants, the touristic river ship company, a local rock band and a bikers’ tribe make up this performance, invoking a new and vital usage of the public space.
