Distorted Notes on “Incubating Narratives, Haegue Yang”, Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin, Oct. 04, 2025

A vessel of experiments, not solutions: Berlin dreams forward. Art offers fresh air, not answers—tenderness as promise, conversation as future.

For our final Open Day at Hangar, we wanted to share a collection of forty color-coded photographs. With no dedicated exhibition space available, we decided to transform the limitations into an opportunity—creating a leporello in collaboration with XYZ Books (also known as concertina or accordion fold).

Nabuurs&VanDoorn return to Lisbon with a kinetic activation of Minor Modes of Multiple Muted Memories, where color-coded protocols unfold through movement across the city’s overlooked topographies. Interpreted by breakdancer Timo Paris, these gestures transform public space into a living atlas—part score, part spell, part site-specific choreography.

Currently nomadic, we explore how movement, memory, and public space entangle—through mapping and storytelling in Lisbon. A blackout reminded us of our digital dependence. We return to paper, walking, marking, tracing lived experience. What we map is not place but perception. A line through Lisbon becomes a Living Atlas—forty points, two questions, many echoes. A quiet rupture becomes an invitation to grow new eyes.

Experience the thought-provoking art of Nabuurs&VanDoorn's Vanitas-Pop-Doubles Portraits at Le Salon during Dutch Design Week.

Lately we started to look back at this idea of a nomadic sculpture and rethink its potential.
