Between April 01 and 18, 2021, the go plastic collective embarked on a virtual and analog research trip for the second part of the series. In the cities of Dresden, Leipzig, Budapest, Bratislava, Vienna, Prague, Usti n.l. and Rehlovice, artistic materials were designed, tested and publicly shared in the form of short residencies together with local artists. Together, a performance score was set in the form of cinematic interventions in public space, connecting all cities along the way.

 

Thematically, the second part negotiates life outside: what environment do we seek and create for ourselves? Nomadism as a (super)way of life: opening up and occupying new, half-finished, broken, ruined, free, preserved spaces. Always on the move, always looking for the "right" shelter, always temporary.
