DIGITAL VISIONS OF THE CITY
Technische Universität Berlin: 27.02.–05.03.2025
Landesarchiv Berlin: 13.03.–13.06.2025
Office blocks are shooting up across the city. Against a background of both housing shortages and abundant vacant office space, this has been criticized by local tenant organizations – unfairly, according to many planning offices. In their marketing campaigns, they are creating visions of the Office of the Future. Construction site fencing is adorned with glossy graphics and buzzwords like New Work and Digitalization. Often spraypainted with slogans, these temporary fences mark the boundary between the interests of those seeking housing and those seeking investments, between public and private space, and between construction site, urban space, and visions of the future.
City photographers Paul-Heinrich Grönboldt and André Wunstorf ask: What role do the construction fences and their billboard renderings play in the narrative of the city? Our leitmotif is to explore how vision and reality relate to each other. Photographs from the Landesarchiv collection provide a link to history.
The exhibition is enriched by a collaboration with the Center for Metropolitan Studies at the TU Berlin, as part of the (Dis)Connected City research project. It will initially be presented as a pop-up exhibition at the TU before moving to the Landesarchiv
