EINSC_NITT - Walkshop
Institute of Land and Environmental Art
Walking - Denken in Bewegung
Zurich Oerlikon
2026


In the walking workshop “EINSC_NITT”, participants will explore the concept of the Kunstbau (civil engineering structure that overcomes an obstacle) through the Einschnitt in Oerlikon—a structure based on functionality that creates a strong contrast with its surroundings. Through observation, participants will walk around the Einschnitt and experience its spatial interactions. The focus is on consciously perceiving everyday infrastructure in the city, whether it is a bridge, a cut, or a noise barrier. Structures designed for rapid movement of trains are deliberately observed through the slow pace of walking. Pragmatism and longevity often determine their appearance. But can this create added value, art in public space?


Uruz - A journey through the land of Scandinavia
Copenhagen to Helsinki
2025


Uruz is a mystical documentary exploring the infrastructures of the Anthropocene embedded within the Nordic landscapes. These structures shape the land — they become the land. Strange objects scattered across a hinterland that was once untouched. They harness the raw power of nature to produce energy for silly humans. Where once Vikings ruled, now corporations control the land between the cities. In barely a hundred years, infrastructures like dams, pipes, and power plants have become what we now consider nature — our cultural heritage. It’s a continuation of the research on archiving infrastructures.

Drushba Freundschaft - post fuel landscape
Schwedt to Adamowo
2023

At the beginning of 2023, I started a research project on the sanctioned Drushba crude oil pipeline—which, before the war in Ukraine, was the main source of crude oil for Berlin and Brandenburg. On foot, I followed its route from the refinery in Schwedt, across Poland to the Belarusian border, applying the methodology of promenadeology developed by Lucius Burckhardt. The journey revealed how deeply the now-obsolete infrastructure has shaped the landscape—it is inseparably interwoven with it. Dismantling it would cause cultural as well as ecological damage. Walking along the pipeline thus became an act of remembrance and of friendship between people, landscape, and infrastructure.
