What do we do when we do nothing—if that is even still possible—and what freedoms or possibilities open up in the moment of pausing? Under the title REST, a two-day event with performative contributions will take place at the Grosstankstelle Brandshof (Hamburg Rothenburgsort), where the processes of urban transformation become visible in specific ways. Here we propose a transformed understanding of time in order to resist the impetus of acceleration and efficiency. REST is dedicated to the moment of interruption, seeking to explore societal spaces for action—beyond productivity.
