In a one-week seminar led by Prof. Dr. Pablo Abend at the Burg Giebichenstein Kunsthochschule Halle, the course participants took an in-depth look at Marc Augé's theory of “non-places”. In addition to reading and discussing the texts together, the participants also went in search of “non-places” in the vicinity of the university, conducted on-site field studies, and formulated their own essays on these places, recording what makes them “non-places” according to Augé's definition. The results, photographs and source documents from the seminar, were then compiled into a publication for the annual exhibition by Marie Teigler and Jakob Nonnen and published by the Design Studies Department of Burg Giebichenstein Kunsthochschule Halle.
