If you haven’t already, I’d love you to have a look at the Die Insel website. It’s chock-a-block full of the stories I gathered during my 4-month residency at Berlin’s ZK/U, with pretty pictures that show the various outcomes of the residency: Die Insel map (see previous post below), Die Insel (Andenken) interactive digital installation, Die Insel walking tour, and Die Insel audio stories. The only thing missing from the site is documentation of the Unsere Insel exhibition, which contained maps drawn by Moabit residents, but you can see those images if you scroll down to previous posts here. You can even continue the mapping on the Die Insel pinterest page.
As a whole, I can say that the ZK/U residency and Die Insel project were incredibly rewarding for me. A great opportunity to experiment with various forms of engagement methods and artistic outcomes, and I’m pretty chuffed with myself for learning some html and documenting the process and outcomes so comprehensively through the Die Insel website. Have a look yourself at www.dieinsel.tumblr.com.
