Resistance
The (—) Gallery is a recurring pop-up event at Hamburg’s Oberhafen that defies the conventions of the mainstream art world. By creating space for the raw, unfiltered voices of queer and marginalized artists, it offers a radical alternative to the exclusivity of traditional galleries. Celebrating collaboration, diversity, and artistic freedom, it serves as both a platform and a catalyst for work that challenges norms, provokes discourse, and reclaims space.
Set within an industrial venue that operates as a multidisciplinary playground for creative minds, the installation faced significant constraints — notably a very limited budget and an extremely short planning timeline.
My proposal for RESISTANCE consisted of a series of temporary walls constructed from a modular system we developed using two Euro pallets, bound together with cable ties. These modules were then connected using heavy-duty tie-down straps, both stabilizing the structure and visually expressing the central theme of resistance — tension, constraint, and cohesion.
The result was a raw, low-tech, and low-budget installation that embraced its material limitations to speak directly to the idea of resilience under pressure — both structurally and metaphorically.
