NO EXIT / BERLIN
URBAN INTERVENTION

NO EXIT / BERLIN

In the Zionskirche in Berlin, Shahram Entekhabi constructed a temporary spatial structure using caution tape. The tape was stretched between fixed points inside the church, forming an ephemeral barrier that divided the space without completely closing it.

The resulting structure created a confined zone in which a figure moved without a clear entrance or exit. The body remained visible, yet its possibilities of action were restricted by the temporary architecture.

The work transforms the church interior into a site of spatial negotiation. By inserting temporary lines into a historically and symbolically charged space, No Exit / Berlin reflects on systems of control, visibility, and the regulation of movement. The caution tape functions simultaneously as construction material, barrier, and marker of limitation.

Rather than offering a fixed interpretation, the performance opens a space for reflection on how architecture and social order shape the presence and agency of the body.
