PUBLIC AND PARTICIPATORY
Sound Installation in Collaboration with Rudy Deceliere at Gleisdreieck Berlin.
The Parc / Park am Gleisdreieck takes its name — "railway triangle" — from the junction that once formed here, where rail lines entering Berlin from the south converged at the freight yards of the Anhalter and Potsdamer stations. From the late nineteenth century into the interwar years it was one of the city's busiest railway hubs, a dense expanse of sidings, shunting yards, and warehouses raised on a plateau above street level. Heavily bombed during the Second World War and largely cut off after 1945, the site fell silent for decades, its tracks and structures left to an encroaching wilderness before the land was reclaimed as a public park. The historic weighbridge beneath the disused track is one of the few working traces of that vanished infrastructure.
