Ghost Station

Ghost Station is an exact replica of an empty billboard located on the platform of Moritzplatz underground station in Berlin. Constructed from interlocking wooden boards and framed as a free-standing structure, the billboard reproduces the dimensions, materials and appearance of the original while removing it from its everyday context.

The project originated from repeated encounters with this permanently empty surface, which became the starting point for researching the history of Moritzplatz station and the surrounding transport infrastructure. This investigation led to Berlin's so-called "ghost stations", underground stations that remained closed during the Cold War, as well as to the discovery of a second station beneath Moritzplatz, built for an underground railway network that was never completed and connected directly to what is today the Prinzessinnengarten.

Separated from the station and presented as an autonomous object, the billboard no longer functions as a support for advertising. Instead, it becomes a structure through which different layers of the site's history converge.
