SV SZLACHTA & KAMPNAGEL, hamburg
immersive container installation
wanja neite: concept, direction, performance
„as an institution we don’t see ourselves capable of ensuring security for everyone. following in-depth navel-gazing we have decided to lay down our work and to announce our dissolving. we have lost the trust of the public. now we will make place for security concepts that do not only represent the interests of white and german hamburg. wer ist das volk? please, take another donut.“ – the police deputy of hamburg –
‚DAS REVIER‘ is the smallest police station in europa and a ten days immersive installation in public space. together with experts and activists that art collective SV SZLACHTA deconstructs the institution police. what is the horizon of a security policing from a queer feminist and bipoc perspective that doesn’t criminalize people, but rather includes and empowers? the project came along with a three days workshop and panel programm.
