The term "Sediment" refers to material that is deposited over a long period of time and accumulates layer by layer, such as sand, soil, rock, or organic remains. In Sediment, the artist Qusay Awad examines the material, social, and historical layers that have accumulated and made the Bärenzwinger into what it is today. Through archival research and a close investigation of the site, the project traces its history by way of the changing architectures, uses, and bodies that have shaped it over time.
The Bärenzwinger opened in 1939 and emerged from a street cleaning depot – a public toilet and a storage room for street cleaning.
