Jakob Kudsk Steensen: Berl-Berl - A Live-Simulation

Jakob Kudsk Steensen’s Berl-Berl transforms the Ausstellungsstrasse auditorium into an immersive installation. A large screen wall and precisely synchronized sound system create a virtual swamp in the museum. The wetlands surrounding Berlin, including the local flora and fauna, as well as old swamp mythologies are interwoven into a digital landscape. Visitors are invited on a journey into a world that is constantly oscillating between hyperrealism and fantasy. Berl-Berl reveals the hidden beauty and complexity of wetlands as well as their ecological and historical significance.
