Hannah Becquante & Félix Taburet - Fragmentation

PASSAGE emerged as an exhibition space embedded in a place of transit, a subway station that is neither fully inside nor outside, neither destination nor origin. It functions as a threshold architecture, a space one passes through rather than occupies. This condition resonates directly with the 48 Stunden Neukölln 2026 motto OUT SIDE IN, which understands boundaries as shifting and porous relations.

The presentation of a work by Hannah Becquante and Félix Taburet within PASSAGE activates this in between state both spatially and conceptually. Their practice operates through fragmentation, erosion and seriality, dismantling the illusion of stable images and coherent narratives. Bodies appear partial or suspended, gestures caught between action and collapse, echoing the condition of the site itself between movement and pause, visibility and disappearance.

The work is installed inside the container as if it were outside. Elements of ground and vegetation extend into the exhibition space, blurring enclosure and openness and adding a further conceptual layer. Situated within a public passage, the work confronts viewers in the midst of everyday circulation. Exterior forces such as social tensions and collective memory inscribe themselves into the interior space of display, while the exhibition remains exposed to the rhythms and interruptions of the street.

Through this encounter, PASSAGE becomes a site where inside and outside fold into one another. The work does not illustrate the theme OUT SIDE IN, it performs it. Meaning remains unstable, emerging through fleeting perception and the viewer’s movement, as the exhibition space itself becomes an active threshold.
