The video-guide invites viewers to peek behind the fence and reflect on the social distance and its ethical implications, exploring the complex dynamics between public space, community needs, and marginalized groups. The place is Drob Inn, a low-threshold contact and counseling service with integrated drug consumption rooms. It supports adults with substance use disorder and is state-recognized. Located near Hamburg Central Station, it serves as a crucial support center for the local open drug scene, offering accessible services. In April 2024, authorities installed a fence to separate the courtyard from the sidewalk. This measure aimed to revitalize the green space and improve pedestrian use, while providing limited visual protection.
