Il progetto consiste in un poster con la mappa di Kreuzkölln, come viene chiamato popolarmente il Reuterkiez (il quartiere di Reuter) a Berlino. Alcuni incroci sono contrassegnati da codici, varianti del simbolo del “cerchio con un punto“. I codici possono essere scansionati per richiamare scene animate di realtà aumentata su un telefono cellulare. Essi mostrano una sfera 3D che visualizza una foto a 360° in bianco e nero del rispettivo incrocio. Le sfere si gonfiano di volta in volta, rivelando il nucleo interno colorato che contiene figure disegnate che cambiano: le voci silenziose del cuore della città trovano una via d’uscita.
Gli incroci/sfere sono collegati tra loro da sfere colorate più piccole e assomigliano a una costellazione.

The symbol:
A circle with a dot in the center: A symbol full of visual tranquility and substantial significance. It is used as a traffic sign, in astronomy and astrology, in alchemy, among scouts, in mathematics, philately, as a tool for meditation, and so on. It could represent an eye. Or a target. Or a female breast?
We have chosen this symbol to precisely integrate our artistic positions into the project URBANE STILLE. If it stands for the female breast, then it stands for everything people can, want to, and may associate with it, relevant to everyone on the scale between woman and man. Relevant to every infant, every relationship, every neighborhood, every society. Relevant to humanity.
The location – Nikodemuskirche:
The church as a place of rest and silence is increasingly forgotten within urban cacophony. FEMMESPHERES occupies this space with feminine energy and intention – STILL/-NESS. Perhaps this is a new, contemporary approach to creating a vibrant community.
The concept:
The six FEMMESPHERES artists activate the Nikodemuskirche – the exterior, the interior, and the path in between – with vastly different interpretations of the symbol, inviting stillness, pause, and reflection. The artistic palette ranges from paste-ups to AR to video projection and performance. Each artist shapes her works personally and with her distinctive means, all, however, united by the use of the symbol, offering viewers the possibility to reflect on their very personal needs, perhaps even to still them, and, transcending the individual, to grasp the concept of being part of a community.
About the artists:
Beautiful, strong, resilient, sensual – collective FEMMESPHERES is a collaborative, installative composition of aesthetic and participatory offerings aimed at providing inspiration and appreciation to a strong femininity and its supporters. The artists Gabriela Dumitrescu, Maria Korporal, Izabela Nowak, Corinna Rosteck, Anja Roth and Susanne Weber-Lehrfeld explore gender issues in their own personal creative ways. A sparring of perspectives, narratives, and works from diametrical fields of female art for a dazzling visibility of what women love, appreciate, and aim to empower in other women – a pervading homage from an artistically and socially relevant perspective.
