The exhibition “Doubled Presence in a Disembodied Space” records a state in which form and matter cease to be obvious carriers of meaning. Here, the object exists in material and symbolic registers, and the body and its absence intertwine. The title refers to Gilles Deleuze’s philosophy of difference and repetition, where every manifestation of reality contains its own shadow and vibration. Doubled presence records a continuous oscillation between the visible and the vanishing. Disembodied space becomes a place where the body is preserved as a trace. Material behaves like memory, and the image functions as a symptom. This logic recalls reliquaries and iconographic systems, where the physical presence of a saint’s body fragment confirms and replaces sanctity. Duality manifests in the structure of the exhibition’s visual language. Strict forms conceal emotional tension, turning expression into restraint. Light, material, and line function as instruments of dramatization. Lines are thin, light is unstable, and a resulting instability emerges. The motif of decay and erosion resonates with Georges Bataille’s philosophy, where destruction is understood as a way for matter to return to its intensity.

What does "home" mean when landscapes are scarred, ecosystems are wounded, and displacement becomes a shared experience? My Glass House examines ecological repercussions of war and the delicate balance between humans and nature. Through site-specific installations, two ukrainian artists transform the former greenhouse into a living metaphor for transparency, fragility, and interconnection.

The exhibition Third Space invites viewers to delve into the fluid and evolving nature of identity through the lens of migration. It brings together Berlin-based artists whose works examine the complexities of existing between cultures, navigating shifting landscapes of belonging, and grappling with the ever-changing nature of identity in transit. At its core, the exhibition is shaped by Homi K. Bhabha’s concept of the Third Space—a transformative realm where cultures intersect, identities blur, and hybridity emerges. Here, migration is not just about crossing borders, but also about the internal landscapes that shift along the way. The self, exposed to multiple cultural currents, becomes fluid, continuously reshaped by encounters, losses, and reinventions. Through a dialogue between personal experience and research, the exhibition weaves together individual and collective narratives—stories of displacement and belonging, rupture and adaptation, alienation and joy. It explores how migration disrupts traditional notions of home, how identities are negotiated in unfamiliar contexts, and how art becomes a vessel for resilience, reinvention, and self-preservation. Beyond the artworks on display, Third Space extends into areas of shared reflection and dialogue in the exhibitions and through accompanying performances, talks and panels. The gallery transforms into a space of exchange, where questions about personal and collective sanctuary and expression are examined: How do we create space to simply exist? What does it mean to belong? What is lost—and gained—through migration? The journey unfolds as one of paradox—between longing and discovery, between integration and the fear of erasure. In dismantling fixed hierarchies, the exhibition reimagines the gallery as a dynamic environment of solidarity and conversation.  By centering these artists’ voices, the exhibition reclaims agency over personal narratives,  a kind of Anzaldúan Autohistoria, a form of storytelling where blending personal histories becomes a form of resistance. It immerses viewers in the complex, deeply personal experience of displacement, adaptation, and resilience. Through collective storytelling and artistic expression, it invites viewers to challenge dominant narratives while fostering a shared space for reflection and solidarity.

In the project What is growing in between, which began with a family archive, the artist gradually shifts from the personal toward a broader, more universal language. By translating human experience into abstract gestures and scenes, she creates works that aim not so much to tell a story as to become images of collective memory, hope, and co-presence. The garden emerges as a space where memory takes up the most room — filling it with ghosts of the past, archives, and recordings. Amid labyrinths and memorials, through action and presence, care and love, a promise of the future begins to grow.
