neXus public art installation

neXus is an installation located at the crossroads in the middle of Platz der Einheit in Potsdam. Composed of 4 walls made of a metallic structure supporting a two-sided flexible mirroring surface, it creates an empty reflective space inspired by the Roman forum designed to play- fully foster encounters and self-reflection, thus altering its usual function from place of passage to centre of civic relations. In the spirit of Socrates’ interactions with his fellow citizens, we use the mirrors to provoke individual reflection, critical analysis of the status quo and encourage people to put their own convictions in doubt in order to promote a democracy based on civic investigations and ex- perimentation rather than political manipulation and propaganda.
