Mit der Einladung von Kunst- und Kulturproduzent:innen, einen Tag im ehemaligen DDR Wachturm im Schlesischen Busch zu verbringen, starten wir (THE WATCH) das neue Residenzformat für 2024. One Day at The Watch belebt den Ort und die Geschichte des Turms in einer skizzenhaften Auseinandersetzung.

Senem Aytaç in conversation with belit sağ, Chloé Galibert-Laîné and Image Acts Collective

The Watch invites film curator and critic Senem Aytaç to present three essay films and a discussion with the directors/artists and the audience, inspired by the physical and conceptual space of the former GDR watchtower at Schlesischer Busch.

This one-day event aims to gather people in the Watchtower to watch the films inside the tower while reflecting on the nature of 'watching'.

The theme of the program, "Sousveillance," means the opposite of "surveillance," which is more commonly used when considering the technologies and methods of control through watching. Sousveillance means “bringing the means of observation down to the human level, either physically or hierarchically".

Chloé Galibert-Laîné’s Forensickness along with ImageActs Collective’s March 8, 2020: A Memoir and belit sağ's Ayhan and Me will be shown in a loop inside the tower during the day starting at 15:00 on the 30th June, followed by the open discussion with the directors at 19:00. Curator Senem Aytaç will wander around questions such as: in today's world flooded with images, how do we process these images and look back at the systems that try to control us through their gaze?
