‘To begin with, barbed wire was drawn around the area. Then rumours started that there was a place in the ZONE where wishes come true. And then it was clear that the ZONE, the ZONE had to be made untouchable. - Because who can know what a person's wishes are?’ Arkady and Boris Strugazki, Andrei Tarkovsky - screenplay, film: Stalker 1979
Make a wish! ...the climate is changing, people are moving, fleeing from wars and natural disasters, we all have to reorient ourselves, even if we build the borders higher with stones and barbed wire and set our walls of love.....
Make a wish! The Ensemble Dégénéré takes you by the hand and gives you the opportunity to share your wishes. They give you the chance to help shape the ‘end of everything’(!) anonymously.
They move with you through different zones, taking up your wishes. The ground they tread with you is constantly being rewritten by new rules and paradigms. It has always been flexible and reinterpretable for you. Coupled with a look at the history of recent decades and the desires of the various systems, they create an echo and play with time.
You can use the link in the Contact line to enter the ZONE and anonymously share your wishes with Ensemble Dégénéré.
Having directly experienced the collapse of the former Eastern Bloc, once also known as the Zone, they jump between the systems and the corresponding rules. Having grown up in the territory of the former GDR, they see the opportunity to find new paths through the wishes of the different systems and to make themselves part of the still unknown history.
...the dangerous, communicating and also constantly forming new paths in the Zone! - Beware, once again it is artificial borders, opaque traps and misleading paths! - Beware, it transforms and you never know when it will respond and how ....
