Caminante, no hay camino / Traveler, There Is No Road
— On guests and hosts, hospitality and hostility —
“Caminante, son tus huellas
el camino y nada más;
Caminante, no hay camino,
se hace camino al andar.
Al andar se hace el camino,
y al volver la vista atrás
se ve la senda que nunca
se ha de volver a pisar.
Caminante, no hay camino
sino estelas en la mar.”
Traveler, your footprints
are the only road, nothing else.
Traveler, there is no road;
you make your own path as you walk.
As you walk, you make your own road,
and when you look back
you see the path
you will never travel again.
Traveler, there is no road;
only a ship’s wake on the sea.
Antonio Machado’s “Caminante, no hay camino / Traveler, There Is
No Road”
At the core of spatial strategies and the politics of space is the question of …

In the previous semester, attention was devoted to leftover images and their unexpressed potential, both within the exploration of montage from a theoretical and experimental perspective and the broader investigation of editing as a radical narrative technique that exceeds the cinematic frame.
Scholar Kajri Jain defines images as bodies that move, “they travel from their place of origin to where they are sold, consumed, used, displayed, or watched. (…) They act on bodies and create relations between bodies”(Jain, 2007, 218-219). Case studies show how revolutions and protest movements started, and spread transnationally, not only because of but also supported by visual triggers that leaked from authorities’ control, boosting civil anger. Or, conversely, didn’t succeed when pieces of evidence were confiscated and disappeared. Whereas circulation is at the basis of images' existence, preservation, and empathic bonds with observers, enframement is one of the counter effects. Enframement is used to define the various …

Space as Clothing/ Clothing as Space II
In this following practice based seminar (SS 2025), we will develop and work on the materialisation and production of our last semesters research, where we could have a closer look of the historical and contemporary development of clothing and in particular the interaction of clothing and space in the broadest/ diverse sense, especially from our very personal perspectives as part of the concept “Space as Clothing/ Clothing as Space II”.
The reasons why humans dress can be summarized in three theories: the protection theory (clothing as protection against the environment and dangers), the shame theory (clothing for moral or religious reasons) and the jewelry theory (the desire to stand out and attract admiration). Today, it is assumed that these motives are closely related and cannot be considered in isolation. Clothing not only covers and protects, but also serves as an expression of individuality. Since the …

This seminar examines tropical modernism as both a material legacy of coloniality and a site of resistance.
We will begin by situating modernism within the broader context of imperial expansion and anti-colonial resistance, tracing ideas from physical places that connect us to relevant memories, such as Wilhelmstraße in Mitte, to global movements that still resonate today, such as the Pan-Africanist Congresses. We will critically engage with architectural colonial export at different scales, focussing on German colonial exports to Africa and Modernist movements in the Global South spanning from India to Brazil, at each turn interrogating the shifting politics of preservation and memory. The aim is to find ways, from here, to turn the colonial gaze back on itself, and in doing so, tap into a practice that has been honed for generations before its present day “moment in the sun”.
Through a combination of readings, workshops, film screenings, and city walks, we …

This summer seminar is a continuation of the 2024 SoSe seminar (PARA)Sites at Floating University. It is a site-specific, expanding theory-practice seminar. The seminar explores fragile spatiality using trans-disciplinary artistic methods, unlearning the coloniality of botany and working towards a series of spatial imaginaries of symbiotic care.
The potential of imagination is a very important and powerful tool for future worldbuilding. The assertion that „only if you can imagine it does it begin to exist“ is a fundamental underpinning of this approach. In the context of increasingly dystopian and hateful political landscapes, the imperative to resist is paramount. A radical reimagining of structures is therefore vital: structures of fragility and love, of symbiosis and resilience. The focus will be on the profound impact of colonial science and epistemologies, with particular attention to botany and biology.
Commencing on 6 May, a series of site-specific learning and experimental sessions will be held at the …
