TEMPO HOME

Is it possible to feel at home in a place which is meant to be temporary? Leila, Amir and Baqir are three of over 1.000 residents of a refugee-camp – made of containers – located at the former Airport Berlin-Tempelhof. Its temporality, which is in the veins of the materiality of the houses, seems to dictate the atmosphere of this maze. The protagonists are challenging the situation in the waiting room by the desire of stability and hope – hopefully not ending up in another temporary space.
