Metro Franz Neumann Platz, Berlin

En passant(from French: in passing) is a move on the board game of chess. It is a special capture position: an opposing pawn can capture it if it is moved two squares forward. In this situation, the opposing pawn may capture the first pawn as if taking action that takes place without any efforts alongside another.

The Installation speculates on the title’s two meanings and aims to challenge people out of their indifferent passing-by. It alludes to the thoughts that are constantly on our minds, thoughts that keep us from meeting one another.

Using an interactive staging light, it breaks the daily routine and tries to induce a space of encounter, where people, thoughts and feelings can coincide. We plan to design a temporary community where nothing and no one is random. Casual passers-by become participants, casual wishes become words, casual dreams become images… The work aims at collecting chance and transforming it into a meeting.
