project safe space

Gino

When I moved here, the backyard immediately became my favorite place. I can play table tennis with friends, work on my laptop or lie down on the table and doze off. Sometimes neighbors stop by, and we chat for a bit. Nobody gives me strange looks. I can ...

Actually, tennis and I have a love-hate relationship. Since I was 12, I’ve been trying to hit that little yellow ball over the net as I wish. Often enough, it doesn’t do what I want, and I despair. I’ve sat crying next to the court… But ...

Merlin

When I finished school, I started going to this place. At first, I didn’t know anyone, but before I knew it, I had become part of an incredibly open community that kept growing. Everyone played with everyone and simply spent time together on and around ...

Cemre & Luisa

Luisa (lying): „I feel safe when there’s no judgement, no envy, when there’s trust, support and a deep understanding. My safe space isn’t a place. My safe space is my Cemi.“

My studio is also my safe space. The studio itself is part of my art. It’s constantly changing, adapting, and being readjusted. My safe space is part of my artistic output, and a prerequisite for it.

Christian

As a kid I liked to play „Island“ on sofas or armchairs, imagining the whole floor of the room as open sea. On the sofa I was unreachable, on my own, safe – ideally together with a friend and some tasty snacks. Today my bed is this safe space. At the end ...

It may seem absurd to consider a car over 60 years old, without seat belts or airbags, as a „safe space.“ In an age that seeks to ensure the „survival“ of the automobile and its occupants through all sorts of technological ...

Every time I visit Cologne, I return to the Lindenthal Canal. The tranquility there, and the harmonious interplay of water, trees, and inviting architecture, evoke a feeling of comfort and timelessness. To be precise, it’s a 1970s feeling I think I ...

Raoul

The place could be anywhere. What I need is Bach or Brahms, or at least meaningful music. I actually prefer listening alone and at home, but the transition from mere perception to that moment when inside and outside dissolve and I feel like I’m ...

Jürgen

The small café is a quiet spot in the middle of the city. The regulars know each other by sight and take their time, while the passing crowd blends in with the atmosphere. The coffee is good and the service impeccable. I sit there—preferably with a good ...

Basil

During the dark days of my illness, I went for a walk every day. And I soon noticed that my path repeatedly led me to the Museum of East Asian Art. The large windows let in plenty of light, even in winter, and it was always quiet there. I felt connected ...

René

On good days, my study transforms into my hobby room. Then I’m not sitting at my desk doing everyday tasks. Instead, I immerse myself in projects I’ve chosen for myself. The room becomes a cabinet of curiosities, filled with all the tools ...
