Spree bridge Bathing Ship

The Spree Bridge Bathing Ship, by artist Susanne Lorenz and the architects AMP, is an homage to the River Spree. It returns the Spree to what it used to be to the Berliners and what it might become in future: a meeting point and a place of communication.
Next to the Arena (between the Oberbaum and the Elsen Bridge) where already a hundred years ago one of the many private river baths was situated, the bathing ship relives the old tradition and enables people in experiencing the Spree. Through the ensemble of the three parts of the boat and the two platforms a live Spree bridge is created. |

It is foremost the interaction with the public that Olaf Nicolai challenges with his project ‘Dromio’. A public announcement by a postcard and an ad in a Berlin daily newspaper discloses location, date and time – nothing else. The winners will be the curious, the searching.
The audience will not only satisfy their curiosity, but also form the starting point for a new bridge – and take part in an art project. |

The architect Tom Heneghan and Berlin artist Manu Kumar draw our attention to the Iron Bridge at the Museum Island. With their project ‘Fata Morgana’ they trace out the architecture of this frequently crossed, but rarely noticed structure. The steel construction is transformed into a light box; the Spree into a canvas. From a distance Mounted satellite images mixed with the reflected substructure of the bridge form a double layered light space. Approaching the bridge, new city perspectives are revealed; once standing on the bridge however, all is gone. |

The artist Mischa Kuball, Riken Yamamoto architects and his partner Beda Faessler reflect on the urban significance of bridges through an optical dematerialisation. A video projection of running water on the Friedrich Bridge, near the Alte Nationalgalerie, changes the physical appearance of the bridge to the extent that, in place of the usual footpath, an actual river course appears. The projection will be realised mainly by funds from the Schering foundation. |
