brāhha

Installation with Friends of the Weissenhof Estate, Ann-Kathrin Müller & Julia Schäfer → Bruckmannweg 10 ↗︎

There is a gap in the Bruckmannweg of the Weissenhofsiedlung: Nothing reminds of the building by Stuttgart architect Richard Döcker, which was destroyed in 1944. Starting from the remains preserved underground, brāhha explores Döcker's positions on the rebuilding of Stuttgart: as head of the central office for reconstruction (ZAS), he proposed to have the city leveled and reforested. From a feminist perspective, the project by the artists Ann-Kathrin Schäfer and Julia Müller illuminates the urban planning of post-war modernism and the (in)visibility of monuments in urban space. The Old High German term brāhha stands for "breaking up, the first plowing of the field."

In collaboration with Judith Engel and Alina Derya Yakaboylu and on behalf of the Freunde der Weissenhofsiedlung e.V..
