ERWARTEN – Possibility spaces for eventful waiting

Which boundaries exist in waiting areas in front of clubs, and how can they be made visible? 

Event

Barriers, posters and access controls are routine parameters of the entrances to events. Entrance areas often look very similar and become waiting areas. In these areas, some barriers are the negotiated social norms and codes of affiliation and status. How can these norms and codes become a subject of reflection and critique?

 The video tutorial ERWARTEN was developed based on an ethnographic research and subtle interventions in waiting queues. It is a guide for visitors to experience the waiting situation in a new way, and to prompt them to undertake self-initiated experiences while waiting. The goals of the project are to question above-mentioned social norms and codes, thereby opening new perspectives on the event entrance.
