 are the artists Alexa Kreissl (*1973) and Daniel Kerber (*1970), both are based in Berlin. They studied art together at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d´arts de Cergy-Pontoise in France and at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf.
Kreissl Kerber are attracted by the places “at which a town’s system of order breaks down”, because these places are free from narrow-minded planning regulations which liberates them for uncommon architectural ideas and individual solutions.
For the Talking Cities exhibition, Kreissl Kerber created one of their “Superscapes”, which are collages of city-superscapes, places that do not exist, but might be. Architecture freed from the constructed form. These Superscapes are generally line drawings, uniting the precision of architectural drawings with a sense of the displaced surrealism of a collage. For Talking Cities, Kreissl Kerber made the collage out of thin black tape, and affixed it directly to the wall of the coal washery building. The finished collage is 6m wide and 4.5m high, a vision of an urbanised, condensed mine site, a collage made of visions of cities from all over the world and inspired by the architecture of the conveyer belt bridge and the mine itself.
