Lina Lapelytė's installation 'We Make Years Out of Hours' features 400,000 wooden cubes in a former train station. The work encourages public participation in building structures from 10-centimeter blocks. Lapelytė's focus on collective making and caretaking is evident, as she collaborates with both professionals and novices. Weekly performances will include a libretto from 15 writers, exploring themes of community, love, and loss. The installation opens on May 1 and runs until January 10, 2027, in Berlin.
"The installation invites the public to remake structures from 10-centimeter blocks made of pine and spruce, emphasizing the importance of collective making and caretaking."
"A trio of weekly performances will feature a libretto with the words of 15 writers, creating another dimension in the space to consider agency and hope."
