Mirrored Cities | Connecting Tel Aviv and Berlin in times of close distances
by Lila Chitayat, Susa Pop, Anat Safran and Michaela Vieser
How does it feel to travel virtually to a distant city while having your body take you through your local environment?
A sense-based experience of a simultaneous interactive walk through two similar quarters in the cities of Tel Aviv and Berlin.
This virtual journey connects the two cities in times of social distancing, introducing and flipping between sounds, stories, and events from both cities, as they unfold along the route. Mirrored cities enables the wondered to be physically present at one space and time using all senses, while playing with imagination and mental force projected into a remote present.
How does it work: The tour begins at 2 parallel locations,
In Tel Aviv, we start at the corner of Tchernichovsky street and Zalman shneor just across the kindergarden near Gan Meir.
We walk through the Trumpeldor street twards the Trumpeldor Cemetery, then to the Liebling Haus garden, to Bialik Square and Gan Meir Park.
Similarly in Berlin, We start at Sophienstrasse garden continue to the Jewish cemetery, stop at the garden of KW institute for contemporary art, The Hackesche Höfe and end at the Mombijou part near the Spree River.
