Disruptive Nostalgia dedicates their residency at Spreepark to exploring
how memory, color, and play shape our understanding of place and
connection to each other and nature. By looking at both human and
nonhuman traces, collecting and cataloging the steel hues of former rides
and the color palettes of the vegetation that reclaims them, they seek
to collect memories that emerge from the interplay between synthetic and
natural colors. Drawing on the importance of color in material culture
and social processes, they will study how these sensory experiences,
viewed through an archive of memory, create new ways to connect with
nature and each other. Through experimental “coloring scripts”, they aim
to offer reflections on resilience, transformation, and ecological
entanglement, building on the histories of the Spreepark once filled
with laughter and now reclaimed by both plants and time.
