Yuri Nakai, Artist-in-Residence in the field of REPAIR, presented her performance »on the shoulders of giants we reconcile« – a work that explores the significance of repair in the Ruhr region. It reflects on the relationship between people and landscapes – reconnecting with and reclaiming places that were once considered hostile wastelands.⁠

Masatoshi Noguchi, Artist-in-Residence in the FOOD section, showed his work »Essen Essen«, which deals with the cycles of the human body, ecological cycles and the use of natural resources – a work with watermelons that visitors can also taste.⁠
