Soft Gardens
at sign, CIAT, Berlin
Whatever it is, you are here now.
The light has a warm temperature that permeates the whole room. You hear voices...the voices of the stones, the voices of the weather and the voices of the water.
The room speaks.
Bureau of Transitioning Landscapes is an ongoing artistic research initiated by Kim Bode, that explores landscapes not only as material and physical spaces but also as collective ideas and political terrains. Functioning as a platform for collaboration and exchange, it weaves together artistic research and practice. Kallia Kefala joined the project as part of the exhibition Soft Gardens – a multimedia installation comprising textile, sculptural, floral and audio works.
The exhibition and the supporting program are developed in a relaxed format and take place in a relaxed atmosphere. There are various seating options in the exhibition rooms. The exhibition design is sensory-friendly. All exhibits can be touched and used. The exhibition primarily appeals to the senses of touch and hearing (haptics and audio). You can sit, lie down, linger and listen in the rooms..
In Soft Gardens, the concept of landscape is re-contextualized and expanded. It encompasses not only physical or geographical spaces but also inner landscapes. These inner landscapes are materialized as spatial and sound installations, inviting visitors to experience them as queer utopian places in the making.
