A space that resonates. A space beneath the city through which thousands of bodies flow every day, barely touching each other? The subway station - at once passageway, platform and portal - forms the starting point for this exhibition.
Zones of the in-between emerge beneath the surface. Places of transition in which proximity and anonymity exist simultaneously. A glance that is briefly returned. A conversation that may never begin. Communication in the subway is fleeting: an exchange through glances, gestures, presence. Voids are created between speed and standstill - moments in which the space itself seems to speak.
The exhibition itself becomes a portal: two classes - from Nuremberg and Munich - with different artistic contexts meet and intertwine perspectives and working methods. In teams and dialogs, connections are created between the individual positions.
What can a public space be? Where are the boundaries between public and private, proximity and distance, movement and standstill? And what remains of the fleeting encounters in everyday urban life? Which stories remain invisible?
The "Silent Echo" exhibition sees the subway station as a place where these questions become visible and public space can be experienced as a social discourse.
