Zug Zwang
Zug Zwang is a mobile vendor cart that relocates each day, resembling the chess tactic where any move worsens oneโs position. Small traders in the shadow economy often face a similar challenge - forced to move by gentrification, regulation, or precarity, each displacement narrowing their possibilities.
Created during the residency at Klub Solitaer, this cart hosted games of chess with bread pieces, encouraging encounters and conversations with the residents of Chemnitz, where play became a way to share time, stories, and experiences.
