2025.11.29 – 2026.02.15 >> NGBK / EastUnBlock 1. #technical installation
EastUnBloc was a tough nut to crack. Right in the heart of Berlin, at Alexanderplatz, there’s this large gallery, nGbK. Ever since I found out about this project, I knew that somehow, at some point, I would end up working on it. But I only really fell into this universe during the last two weeks.
Even though it’s a media art exhibition, so much of it had already been figured out that at first I found it difficult to find my place in it. Then, when we started installing the exhibition two weeks before the opening, it suddenly became clear that one tiny detail hadn’t really been planned: who was actually going to put together all these countless TVs, projectors, media players, and kilometres of cables. Yay.
All these devices span roughly 50 years of technological history. My trusted companion became Valentin, a Ukrainian media artist, and after an incredible amount of struggling, we eventually managed to get everything working—with all the adapters, completely different inputs, cables, and formats.
