If we were made for one day
“If we were made for one day”
is an exhibition and archive project by students of the Bauhaus-University, supervised by Florian Schmidt (artistic associate / Bauhaus University Weimar) and Natalie Keppler (curator / DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program).
The project emerges from material collections created during the course “Kunstwelt Klub – Archive of the Ephemerists”, organized by Florian Schmidt, as well as the two workshops “Performing the Archive” and “Berlin Excursions – If the Berlin Wind Blows My Flag”, both curated by Natalie Keppler.
The walkable sculpture A:I:M (An Introspective Monument) serves as a central site for the project, where I host the Fachkurs “Kunstwelt Klub – Archive of the Ephemerists.” Some of the resulting works are exhibited in and around the sculpture, transforming it into a dynamic space for ephemeral encounters.
The students focus particularly on the collection of ephemera (from ancient Greek ἐφήμερον ephēmeron – “lasting for only a short time; transitory; short-lived”) — material that usually exists briefly or is easily overlooked. Items commonly considered minor, marginal, or insignificant become the focal point of the exhibition.
