Park Fiction. Hamburgo (Alemania) / Hamburg (Germany) 1995, In 1994 in the harbour area of St. Pauli, in Hamburg, demolitions were under way to clear space for real estate development and speculation. A group of artists and musicians lead by Christoph Schaefer y Cathy Skene joined a citizens' initiative to stop plans for construction on the last remaining open space and to have the city build a collectively designed park instead. The campaign and the planning process that followed brought together and enriched art, subculture, and politics in unique ways. The planned construction was stopped. After eight Years of radical democratic urban planning and negotiations, Park Fiction was realized. lt is a unique example of a combination of Conceptual Art and collective subjectivity, navigating between private and public space and various cultural fields.
