Geduld | 2022-ongoing | Participatory public-space installation, two videos are shown from an object

Geduld explores Akkel’s critical relationship with Berlin. The work delves into the city’s dynamics, its urban narratives, and the experience of relocating there. The title, meaning “patience” in German, reflects both the process of adaptation and the pace of transformation within the city.

The installation takes the form of a labyrinth built from construction fences, echoing Berlin’s perpetual state of repair and the tensions between its residents and hegemonic forces.

Unlike traditional garden labyrinths, this structure features transparent walls, symbolizing the sensation of knowing one’s destination while remaining uncertain about how to arrive there.
