About

Kreuzberger Mischung – Kreuzberger Argument, 2025
Cobblestones, ceramics, newspaper, paper, flyers from Kreuzberg activists (1980–2025)

This work explores the urban, social, and political history of Kreuzberg. At its center is the cobblestone—used as a traditional building material, a symbol of resistance, and a witness to the transformation of the neighborhood.

The “Kreuzberg Cobblestones” are made from paper, original flyers from the squatters’ movement (1980–2025), replica clay bricks, and actual cobblestones from the area.

The title carries a double meaning: the “Kreuzberger Mischung (Kreuzberg Mix)” refers to the dense coexistence of living, working, and political activism. The “Kreuzberg Argument”—the cobblestone—became a symbol of protest in the 1980s, particularly against gentrification and displacement.

The work addresses Kreuzberg’s identity—between resistance, change, and commodification—and raises the question: Who owns the city?

MICRO COSMOS – how the big depends on the small“
2025

Textile, ceramic, wire, paper, yarn

The exhibition Micro Cosmos transforms a former gumball machine into a petri dish. As if under a microscope, a hidden world reveals itself: an artistic interpretation of microorganisms—agents of growth and decay, health and illness, beginning and end.

On linen-covered walls, hand-drawn, embroidered, and woven fantasy microorganisms unfold. They spread, interconnect, and form structures reminiscent of microscopic slides. On the gallery floor lie small ceramic organisms—solid, fragile, like traces of a world either long gone or just emerging.

From the ceiling, textile, ceramic, and wire-based organisms are suspended—some arranged as mobiles that gently move. This delicate interplay of shapes, shadows, and motion transforms the interior into a living research landscape, shifting with every perspective and change in light.

Like in a petri dish, the existence and growth of these organisms depend on external conditions.

Who decides what becomes visible? What conditions foster life—and which ones destroy it? By shifting the scale, the exhibition reveals a simple truth: the big depends on the small—our entire existence is shaped by the microcosmos.
