Collaboration with Axel Berger (Berger & Wirz)

Statement

Filibuster reimagines the gallery as a constructed reality, featuring both a waiting room and a functioning TV studio. Within the studio, a live monologue is broadcast to a screen in the waiting room, allowing audiences to navigate between the distinct environments. This arrangement fosters a liminal atmosphere, highlighting the pervasive influence of media narratives in shaping our perceptions.

Publication from Conference Material

From the material collected, Berger and Wirz have produced a publication featuring Axel Berger's drawings alongside curated artifacts.
