Opening thresholds as spaces of transformation and resistance.
Die Grenzbewohner*in begins from an inhabited border.
A self-managed community located on a former boundary between East and West Berlin.
The community occupies an in-between territory in Alt-Treptow.
The inhabitants of the threshold are transformers, creators and dwellers of in-between spaces.
The project treats liminality as an active condition.
The physical perimeter of the community became a site of collection.
Rather than functioning as neutral evidence, these objects form a provisional narrative of the threshold.
The threshold is speculative because its meaning is never completely fixed.
Wagenburg Lohmühle makes this visible through occupation rather than representation.
The collected objects were brought together with projections at Neuer Berliner Kunstverein.
The installation displaced the project from urban boundary to exhibition space.
