What Do We Dig Up Through Our Movements?

We have probably all dug in one context or another in our lives. From the first shovel in the sandpit to gardening and perhaps building a house. The workshop is focused in the site-specific context - meaning the parking lot of the Gropius Bau - where once the Königliches Museum für Völkerkunde was located. The installation "The Dig" (2024), created by The School of Mutants in collaboration with Stella Flatten is the starting point for this workshop. In the middle of the parking lot of the Gropius Bau, a temporary mutation of a sand pit and excavation site has been set up. This new level of underground will be explored together.  With our bodies, we build a newly emerging space into which we can enter, sit down and search for ourselves. We ask: What ground are we standing on? What information is stored in it? Will we find anything and if so, what can these finds tell us? What do we bury through our own rituals and actions? What do we dig up again through our movements? Digging understands one's own body as a place of memory and memory culture as something vital and will expand the installation "The Dig" (2024).
