Future Mobility And Other Ghosts From The Past. The Ship Edition

The exhibition by Sascia Reibel and Mathias Lempart takes us on a journey through time that examines the former promise of unrestricted global mobility. It looks back at the changing possibilities of travelling in recent decades. Various installations examine what travelling means in a world that is moving ever closer together and how we perceive it from a Western European perspective. In this context, the innovations in aviation, shipping and digital space give rise to the oppressive feeling that the constant acceleration can no longer be caught up with. On MS Dauerwelle (an inland waterway vessel), ‘Future Mobility’ encounters an exhibition venue that is itself in an ambiguous intermediate position between a past, repurposed means of transport and future potential.

The exhibition by Sascia Reibel and Mathias Lempart was created as part of the Peter Jacobi Design Scholarship in Pforzheim. Together they run the graphic design studio Shortnotice in Berlin and are lecturers in the Integrated Design programme at the HfK Bremen. The exhibition is activated and expanded by positions of the students Freddy Adelmann, Janne Hecker und Yonca Jakubowski, Aleksandra Faradzheva, Sina Güllü Gießner and Lena Porath. Their works were created in the seminar "Waterways", which was led by Prof Olav Westphalen, Prof Tania Prill, Sascia Reibel and Mathias Lempart.
