This video was created as the project of the summer course "Exploring Atopies – Degenerated Spaces," led by Fernando Palacios at the Universität der Künste Berlin in 2024. I was honored to receive a scholarship for this immersive, five-day program at Berlin Summer University. Throughout the course, we examined abandoned spaces in Berlin while delving into philosophical ideas on space, emptiness, and time, including the works of philosophers like Martin Heidegger.
I was particularly fascinated by how abandoned places evoke memories. The inherent emptiness of these spaces—no longer filled with life and purpose—creates room for self-reflection and growth. Drawing on Heidegger's concept from "Art and Space," where he asserts that space is the void between volumes, I believe these empty places mirror our own inner landscapes, offering a connection to the ethereal realm.
The audio, by Sergey Makarov, features recordings captured in these abandoned places.
