What were the dimensions of the Palace of the Republic, which stood where the Humboldt Forum is today until 2006? How shaky was and is the ground? What does shuffling while walking have to do with civil disobedience?
Be part of it!
On the occasion of the special exhibition Blown Away: The Palace of the Republic, which opens on 16 May, the contours of the building will be brought to the ground. The sound and performance artist katrinem developed a listening and walking experience to mark the opening of this outline. Stride, shuffle and walk with her and 24 trained spatial performers in the footsteps of the Palace of the Republic.

katrinem is a trained musician and composer and works as an international sound and performance artist based in Berlin and Linz.
An essential feature of her artistic work is the tangibility of sound and space. In her artistic research, katrinem has been investigating the walkability of cities for pedestrians and the associated perception of space since 2004. Two perspectives of her approach are: the observation of places (Place Studies) and self-awareness in space while walking (Path of Awareness). Both work formats have been realised in many cities worldwide.
In 2020, BesenBallett (Broom Ballet) was developed as a social sculpture in public space. It creates new dialogues with urban spaces for both performers and audiences.
katrinem gives lectures at universities and symposia about her work and the methodology of her artistic research. Through collaboration and exchange with artists, scientists, architects and urban planners, katrinem constantly seeks to expand, question and refine her own approach.
