Offcuts, 2024

A series of 5 poster prints on affiche paper, installed on the security fence of a derelict gas station at the corner of Sonnenallee/Hobrechtstraße in Neukölln, Berlin.

In the years since the site closed, it has become an unofficial shelter for the homeless, a place to shoot up, a party venue, a photo opportunity for tourists, a murder scene; a revolving window into the wider neighborhood around it. A palimpsest of bodies and paper, marked by transience, fragility, and anonymity. The images hang amongst the twisted remains of promo posters and show flyers; papers published in the elements, working until failure.

Offcuts is the first in Selbst Tanken’s series of expanded publications in the fields of artistic practice and research.
