THE PROJECT
OPEN AIR GALLERY Â IN SOUTHEAST BERLIN
AKTE ONE AND FRIENDS “IN THE MIX”
A long sound barrier wall in Berlin became the starting point for one of AKTE ONE’s most extensive urban art projects to date.
What began as a local initiative slowly evolved into a collaborative open-air gallery — shaped by exchange, experimentation and the spirit of graffiti culture.

THE IDEA
FROM WALL TO OPEN-AIR GALLERY
Originally planned as a single large-scale graffiti project, IN THE MIX quickly developed into something more complex. Instead of one artistic statement, the wall became a platform for different artistic voices.
Over 20 invited guest artists were given space to define their own concepts, creating a diverse sequence of works that merge figurative approaches with graffiti writing — forming a constantly changing visual dialogue along more than 450 meters of urban space.

THE PROCESS
BEHIND THE SURFACE
Realizing a project of this scale required months of preparation long before the first spray can touched the wall. Organization, coordination and physical work became part of the artistic process itself.
Step by step, the wall was cleaned, prepared and transformed while new collaborations emerged along the way. What appears effortless today is the result of continuous adaptation, teamwork and persistence behind the scenes.

THE MIX
COLLABORATION AS CULTURE
At the heart of IN THE MIX is collaboration. Established friendships met newly curated artists, creating unexpected encounters between styles, approaches and personalities.
The project reflects a fundamental principle of graffiti culture: exchange beyond borders — where individual styles remain visible while contributing to a shared visual experience.

BEYOND THE WALL
MORE THAN PAINT ON CONCRETE
Over time, the project grew beyond its original intention. Residents, passersby and artists turned the location into a meeting point — a place of conversation, curiosity and shared experience.
What started as an artistic intervention gradually became a living urban space whose full impact can only be experienced on site.
