Watch out: Children! Protected. Loved. Threatened.

For the sceno­graph­ic imple­men­ta­tion, chezweitz took a glob­al chil­dren’s game as its start­ing point: play­ing in and with tent-like, self-con­struct­ed dwellings. Who has­n’t done that as a child? Insert­ing one­self into a mag­nif­i­cent, inti­mate shel­ter, alter­nat­ing between the inte­ri­or and the obser­va­tion from the tex­tile space. The exhi­bi­tion design pur­sues the goal of appro­pri­ate­ly link­ing the inte­ri­or and exte­ri­or of the tem­po­rary box and trans­form­ing the func­tion­al Hum­boldt Box into a flow­ing and stim­u­lat­ing space. This is achieved with this extra­or­di­nary, pri­mar­i­ly tex­tile exhi­bi­tion scenog­ra­phy by chezweitz. It illu­mi­nates the 160 exhibits from all over the world, from Berlin’s diverse muse­ums, both artis­ti­cal­ly and experimentally.

In this con­text, the cura­tors of the Stiftung Hum­boldt Forum in the Berlin­er Schloss have not only addressed the lov­ing, sun­ny side of the top­ic, but have also exam­ined the moments when con­cern can repeat­ed­ly turn into dan­ger for children.
