Wiedersehen

2022,Berlin


Xuan's Involvement:
​Curator and artist


 

Wiedersehen (see you again) is a project that I organized and which I finally curated into an exhibition. I collected people's unwanted objects and the personal stories related to them. Then I invited artists and designers to recreate these objects. By doing this the objects were reinvented and acquired new values.

In the community of Charlottenburg, bulletin boards on the street and in supermarkets post advertisements for scrap recycling, inviting people to bring out their used items and tell stories about them, and then displaying the items and their stories on a web page. Finally, artists are invited to participate, who choose an object on the website that they want to recreate and then recreate it through the object and its story.

The recreated objects met the public again at the Kotti Cafe.

Currently wiedersehen's website is under construction and in the future will become a platform to invite more public, artists and designers to participate.
