‘Tropical Berlin’ is a multi-part sound and film project exploring memory, migration, and healing through two iconic Berlin sites: the Tropical Greenhouse at the Berlin Botanic Garden and LeCorbusier’s Unité d’Habitation in the Westend.  The sound installation blends field recordings and ambient textures to evoke the story of the Coco de Mer palm tree (Lodoicea Maldivica) -destroyed in a WWII bomb raid and ceremonially returned decades later- as a symbol of displacement, survival, and return. Influenced by ayahuasca journeys, sound baths, and queer rituals, it offers a space for reflection and embodied memory.  The film follows a protagonist moving through LeCorbusier’s modernist housing block, treating the space as a vessel for memory, longing, and psychic transformation. Together, they reimagine botanical and architectural spaces as sites for processing intergenerational trauma and envisioning new queer futures. With special thanks to Antoine Vigne.
