We’d like to warmly thank the teams of Re Routing and Cruising Curators for inviting Pol Merchan, with accompaniment from Sarah Martinus to have a moment of Eco-Sexual late Summer nourishment at the Habbermannsee in Berlin.
As preparation, we paused, focusing inwards together in a moment of meditation, through guided word and sound led by Sarah. We opened into multi-perspectives of the ways of living waters, to access new or forgotten ways of eco-cruising-into-mutuality.
Pol Merchan invited us into an audiovisual ecosystem of entangled bodies, waters, pixels, and memories.
𝑺𝒍𝒐𝒃𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝑴𝒐𝒔𝒔 𝑷𝒆𝒆 explores the interconnectedness of space—natural and urban, visible and invisible—and its inhabitants, human and non-human, tracing the traces of their multiple interactions. A projection at the Kaulsdorfer Baggersee (Habermannsee) places the artwork, the screen, and the viewers within a dynamic of intra-action.
The screen integrates with the landscape, while ambient sounds and birdsong form the soundtrack.
Cast: Xen Ruiz @xenruizart & Pol Merchan

Thank you to the community who were able to join us and enjoy the fresh air with us, and to Natthapong Samakkaew @nttpsmkw who was documenting the scene through drawing.
We are together looking forward to the next iteration, ‘Traces’, in February 2026.
