Mobile Albania: Rumpel – Wunder – Kammer

Mobile Albania: Rumpel – Wunder – Kammer

KAHO. Raum für Kultur / Performance, 2021

Wouldn't it be nicer if something else was there instead? Together with residents and passers-by, Mobile Albania are creating something that suits the street better. The supposed rubbish becomes a memorial, a cinema, a local recreation area, a library…
