One wall is built from the Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge, the viral trend where people plumped their lips by sticking them into shot glasses. Nearby is a grid of six of the teenagers photographing themselves crying. Lauren Greenfield got it from the phones of 30 Los Angeles teenagers.

Between 2021 and 2023 she filmed them for 150 days and collected over 2,000 hours of screen recordings, first released as an FX and Disney+ series. Here it fills 5,000 square feet: her portraits, photo grids, 17 screens and two projection rooms. You walk into Ella's Bedroom, string lights and stuffed animals, while feeds run across the walls. Berlin clubs put a sticker over your phone camera at the door; this show is the inside of the phone.

The subjects are bullying, beauty standards, race and sexuality in the teenagers' own words, and the final gallery plays all five episodes. Entry is €15, free for 18 and under during the show, and it's open daily until 23:00 (last entry 22:00).

Nicht verpassen

  • Ella's Bedroom

    A rebuilt teenage bedroom of string lights, stuffed animals and an overstuffed closet, with social media feeds running across its walls.

  • The Algorithm Room

    Look for the projection room that puts you inside someone else's feed at architectural scale, so the whole room falls down the rabbit hole together.

  • Crying Selfies

    Holly, Ella, Cooper, Stella, Jordan and Maren from the series, each photographing themselves in tears, hung side by side.

  • Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge

    A grid from the viral trend, with people comparing lips and plumping them by sticking them into shot glasses to copy her pout.

  • The screening room

    The final gallery shows all five episodes of the docuseries, so you can hear the teenagers from the walls tell their own stories.

Nichts für dich, wenn

You want prints on walls only: much of it is screens, projections and built rooms.

Mit Kindern

Under-18s get in free while the show runs, and school classes can book free visits. The teenagers talk frankly about bullying, sexuality and online harassment, so it suits teens better than young children.
