The city of Berlin is home to many public sculptures, scattered throughout its streets and parks. Erected at different periods in history, they retain a trace of the past through time and are dedicated to recalling historical events and personalities or they form decorative elements in public space. Not only sculptures preserve the collective memory, but they also promote values conveyed by our society.

However, some of these sculptures stand in silence. Forgotten and invisible to the passers-by who walk past them every day without noticing them, they blend into the landscape. Present but invisible, they remain in an in-between space, where our gaze no longer really rests.

Why are certain things no longer considered or looked at? How are they forgotten? Can they be reconsidered? Unsichtbar questions our perception of the environment through the act of rendering invisible. The project seeks out these immovable sculptures, frozen in oblivion or even abandoned in urban space.

Unsichtbar is a collaborative project by Natascha Frioud and Gaël Epiney, both Swiss artists working between Berlin (DE) and Lausanne (CH).
