Between origin and departure, between rural imprint and urban presence:
The first exhibition of the curatorial project Transit Transit explores questions of space, belonging, and identity in transition. A functioning production hall at a Mosel winery is transformed into an exhibition space for one weekend—marking the beginning of a series of exhibitions in temporary venues beyond established art institutions. The participating artistic positions engage with the overarching theme of landscape, architecture, and living space—not as documentary or illustration, but as a layered, visual exploration. What does it mean to stay rooted—or to leave? What traces do origin, architecture, topography, and social structures leave in artistic language? A custom-built modular wall system, inspired by timber-frame construction, structures the space without neutralizing it. It refers to housing typologies, structural materials, and spatial formation—and becomes a sculptural infrastructure in itself. A display system that raises questions about materiality, privacy, publicness, and the construction of personal identity. Transit Transit #1 makes spatial conditions visible—between city and countryside, interior and exterior, between what remains and what transforms. An exhibition about the coexistence of rupture and uprooting—as well as arrival and unfolding.
