"Rauminstallation II" is a project by an interdisciplinary team of architects and artists, located in the foyer and display cases at the Haus des Lehrers. Drawing on neurobiological perception experiments with goldfish—which are intended to explain human behavior—the experiment’s setup is reversed here: the goldfish observe everyday human behavior. Visitors to the exhibition, in turn, can share the animals’ perspective by looking through the glass windows of the foyer at the display cases and Alexanderplatz, thereby becoming test subjects themselves in this space—subjects who can be observed from the outside. Inside and outside merge; test subjects and experimenters can swap roles. Joint exhibition with Francis Zeischegg, Kai Vöckler, and St.rauma.
