Über Wasser… aus der Pfütze. Kunst & Wissenschaft im Gespräch

In the organizer's words:

What exactly is a puddle - and why is it worth paying attention to it? Often overlooked, it forms its own microcosm: temporary, multifaceted and full of dynamics between the water cycle and urban life.

The artist Mirja Busch, the anthropologist Ignacio Farías (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) and the urban ecologist Thomas Nehls (Technische Universität Berlin), who are represented with their works in the exhibition On Water. WasserWissen in Berlin, will address the puddle from different perspectives on this evening. Together, they will explore what "puddology" could be - a science of small, fleeting accumulations of water.

The discussion will focus on the manifestations and classifications of puddles, their role in urban space and the questions that art and research ask of them: as a reflection of environmental conditions, as a habitat and as an aesthetic phenomenon.

Moderated by Julia Vismann (rbb).
