House of Stories

Audiovisual installation as digital sociale sculpture

A high-rise building with residents from different countries of origin becomes a joint project

The people living here are invited to compile photographs that show their personal history, for example pictures of their homeland, their flight or their everyday life in Germany. These images are the content of an Area Composing, which is projected onto the underside of their own balcony. In this way they make contact with their neighbors.

Each balcony shows a different story. Together, the residents turn their home into a social sculpture.
