ENDHALTESTELLE

Concept

Most of Weimar's approximately sixty thousand inhabitants reside beyond what might be deemed the "city center. Endhaltestelle investigates communities on the supposed outskirts of Weimar as defined by its public transportation system. Apart from those established by local government and city planning officials, how do we draw the lines of a city? How are flexible are those boundaries or, in other words, where does the city begin and where does it end? Specifically, what can be said about the neighborhoods/places that circumscribe the inner city--those rarely traversed by non-residents? Endhaltestelle aims to explore the fluidity of urban/peripheral space by documenting the area surrounding the end of each bus line.
