Transsitio is a photo-audio installation preparated to the exhibition “No Tango”, that took place at Villa Elisabeth in Berlin during Sep- tember and October 2004, as part of the encounter “Buenos Aires- Berlin 2004” . Transsitio is concerned about different phenomena of dismantle, transition and provisional actions over public architectural spaces in both cities. These spaces, contrary to their original destinations, are ascribed to new functions inside the urban systems.

The photografies of Ina-Maria Rittmeyer show these transitory spaces, telling histories that are extended by the sound tracks of Pablo Juanes and Ronny Trocker.
