- Celebrate with us the opening of our upcoming exhibitions! The Heart of the Matter is the first comprehensive retrospective of US-American artist Carrie Mae Weems in Berlin. Featuring more than one hundred photographs and videos spanning more than four decades, the exhibition offers an in-depth insight into a body of work that combines personal experiences with social and historical issues and focuses on stories, people, and places that are often overlooked in historical narratives. Running parallel to this is the double exhibition featuring the two winners of the After Nature Prize 26: Stelios Kallinikou. Cliffs Among Dreams, and Susanne Kriemann. Im Fieber der Sonne flattern Schmetterlinge im Bauch. The works take viewers to places where the past persists into the present day: to regions under military control, contaminated landscapes, and into the very soil. These artists make palpable those conditions that cannot be apprehended with the senses, exploring how the photographic image might operate when what needs to be shown is invisible to the eye. The program is complemented by the eleventh Artistic Intervention 2026 by the internationally renowned artist Ayşe Erkmen at Café C/O Berlin x Bark Berlin.Description

- In his long-term project, Finland-based artist researcher Sheung Yiu (b. 1991, HKG) explores the relationship between facial recognition technology and human agency. His work challenges the notion of 'fatal reading,' where facial readings have moved from spiritual to economic imperatives, leading to a deterioration of human agency. Yiu's project is part of the C/O Berlin Talent Award 2025 program.Description

- "Photographs are like whales that are capable of carrying entire islands," writes photographer Dörte Eißfeldt (b. 1950), exploring the world around us, and the medium itself, with a gaze that is at once tender, poetic, and ever curious. One of Germany’s most important experimental photographers, the artist has produced over nearly five decades a multivalent body of work open to constant reinterpretation. With Archipelago, she creates a space for these island groups of meaning, memory, analogy, and fleeting impressions.
