The participatory installation Berlin Wedding (und Scheidung / and Divorce) invites visitors to make a temporary promise and playfully explores the dissonances between love and law, emotional bonds and official ties. Along large-scale, ephemeral art installations, strangers, friends, and lovers meet and are guided through a fast-track journey from first infatuation to pop-up weddings and express divorces. Passion meets paragraphs, bureaucracy turns into poetry, and separation becomes a creative rupture.
