Good Location - or: The Companions
Der Erste Raum
The First Chamber is office space.
Antechamber, walk-through-room, in-between-room. Like any office space, temporary or not - transient common room where
the centring pile (the gum tree) is predominantly symbolically remembered.
The chamber is dusky, lit only from the outside. Here would be space for the companions. But there is nobody left.
Only a display case is inviting to define one's standpoint. Diagonally across there was an old gas station and unobstructed
view over the tracks.
Materials
- display case, found in the site at Friedenheimer Brücke, ca. 2007
- photographs showing the old gas station, total and detail view, Landsberger Straße, 2004
- the drawing of the gum tree, found at "Neuland", pencil on misprint/office paper, 2008
