Seat Belt, Three Points
Seat Belt, Three Points invites viewers to strap into a seat belt attached to three stations, creating a physical interaction with the artwork. Baden’s works explored kinesthetic experiences and neuromuscular memory, altering perceptions of balance and sensory imprint.
Shoes for Departure
Shoes for Departure is part of Marina Abramović’s Transitional Objects series, exploring the use of crystals and minerals in interactive objects as emotional or symbolic transitions. The work connects walking, departure, and psychological journey, reflecting her focus on the body’s limits, transformation, and personal rituals.
Alien Staff
Alien Staff (1992–93) by Krzysztof Wodiczko is an electronic staff with a monitor, speaker, and display of personal documents, carried like a biblical shepherd’s staff or a 17th-century bourgeois walking stick. It allows immigrants to share their stories publicly, fostering dialogue, empathy, and challenging cultural prejudices.

According to the Jameel Art Center website, “Pre-Image (Blind as the Mother Tongue) re-traces a journey undertaken on foot by Hiwa when he fled Iraqi Kurdistan in the mid-1990s. This long and often dangerous journey — lasting five months and two days and passing through Iran, Turkey, Greece, France and Italy — was an “experience of space and time” and a “fracturing of spatial and cultural experiences.” Each point along the way, whether a city or town, was experienced fractally, and always from below — with no overview.
In this work, the artist uses an adapted balancing device, equipped with motorcycle mirrors, to re-create the disorienting experience of space and time experienced by so many making similar journeys. One mirror reflects what is ahead, another behind, while the others reflect the artist and his immediate surroundings. To walk forward he must balance and control the device, alluding to the effort needed to keep moving and recalibrate oneself to new contexts.”
