AIRNSHARE

Doris Dziersk’s AIRNSHARE brings together the residents of the new development quarter and those who live in the neighboring older buildings. In a performative act, the participants inflate a sculpture that is 20,7 cubic meters in volume. This corresponds to the official minimum living space required for one person. The joint physical exertion in a real place marks a striking contrast to the disembodied and often anonymized encounters of digital space. Furthermore, Dziersk takes this mix of the air that we breathe to be an alternative symbol for a shared economy. For her, the action is not least a means to reflect together on local neighborhood life. Do people know each other? What is shared, and on what basis? What is missing?
