Composition
Sports Hall Floors as Silent Witnesses to Overlapping Worlds
In Composition, Menno Aden shows gymnasium floors from Berlin sports halls where refugees were housed from 2015 onwards. From a distance, the images look like constructivist paintings. Lines of different playing systems overlap, but do not touch each other. The offset markings or a crooked lid become silent metaphors for the juxtaposition of human living environments.
