Yvon Chabrowsky // shattered layer: surfaces, body, and ai images

sculptural video performance / 4K, sound / color / 40-inch monitor in upright position (2025)

Seemingly from within, I feel and destroy the various screen surfaces—the layers that make up a flat screen. In and between these layers, images emerge—images we see, touch, and that can touch us. Numerous AI-based tools for image generation are shaping our present. Interesting is how we can physically move in relation to the screens surrounding us and what new mechanisms of seeing we need to develop to perceive images in their multilayered complexity. What is an image, and what is its reality? How does it come into being? How do we perceive bodies within images, and how do we physically relate to images and screen surfaces?

Yvon Chabrowski, born in East Berlin, lives in Leipzig and Berlin. In her work, the visual artist deals with media image formulas, which she removes from contexts, thereby both alienating and making them tangible. Her performative video sculptures convey an awareness of iconographies, production mechanisms, and the independent existence of ubiquitous media images. Chabrowski creates performative spaces for negotiation in which the movement patterns inscribed in bodies, the roles we assume in society, and the relationships we can enter into with one another are questioned and set in motion. Her works have been exhibited at the Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz, Kunstpalast Düsseldorf, Weserburg Bremen, Kunstraum Kreuzberg Bethanie, nGbK (neue Gesellschaft für bildende Kunst), n.b.k. (Neue Berliner Kunstverein) and as part of the Odessa and Moscow Biennales, among others.

Laura Fong Prosper // Guardiana del Agua

Video / Text: Luisa Fuentes Guaza / Image and Sound: Laura Fong Prosper / Speech: Berta Cáceres

“Guardiana del Agua” is an ode to Pachamama, Mother Earth or the Living-Earth-Body from aquatic and underwater environments, as a sustaining body that makes life possible for other bodies. The audiovisual work traverses hydrofeminist axes by articulating a territory shaped by feminisms and ecologies. It recognises us as bodies of water. It challenges us to generate livable conditions for other bodies of water that are in a situation of vulnerability.

Laura Fong Prosper (geb. 1978) is a visual artist from Panama based in Berlin. Her work addresses themes such as the collective memory, retro-futurisms, ancestral imaginaries and eco- feminisms while interweaving video, analog film, new media and most recently textiles. In her process- oriented practice, she creates a dialogue between the body, the territory, history and decolonial narratives while conducting a personal research as a recycler of materials, archives and electronic gear.

Kathrin Hunze // Data Me: Data Sugar 

Performance 

„Data Me: Data Sugar“ deals with post-digital forms of life of nature, man and machine in digital space. The video work questions the happy virtual body with a program called ‚Perfect Happiness‘. Based on the principle of the Tamagotchis-Effect, ‚Perfect Happiness‘ attempts to create an emotional playful connection by feeding data sugar in order to steer and control it.

Lauren Moffat // Local Binaries

Installation / Augmented Reality

Every person you meet holds a world inside them, what does yours look like? This was the question artist Lauren Moffatt asked nine women from across the world in order to define the blueprints for the collectively written universe inside Local Binaries. This is a virtual space that can be explored by the viewer in miniature scale via augmented reality.

Lauren Moffatt is an Australian artist working with immersive environments and experimental narrative practices. Her works, often presented in hybrid and iterative forms, explore the paradoxical subjectivity of connected bodies and the indistinct boundaries between digital and organic life. She combines conventional, obsolete, and emerging technologies to construct universes that span both physical and virtual space. Lauren studied painting, new media theory and practice, and audiovisual creation at the College of Fine Arts (Australia), Université Paris VIII (France), and Le Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains (France).

Kaja Krebs // Wild Horses

Installation

The installation explores the connections between spectacle and melancholy, vertigo, and technological progress. It draws on various light phenomena, the history of amusement parks on Coney Island, the iconography of Albrecht Dürer’s copperplate engravingMelencolia I, and the carousel as a symbol.

Kaja Krebs (born in 1997 in Braunschweig) studied visual communication experimental film and media art, sculpture and art therapy in Berlin and Dresden. She is particularly interested in multimedia storytelling. Using an open and experimental approach, she attempts to bring content and medium together, carefully selecting where text is needed, where an object, a moving image, which material, light, darkness,perhaps even a smell. She deals with She deals, for example, with the biographies of lost objects or the outdoor swimming pool as a socialspace. In seemingly fleeting moments of everyday life, she seeks to convey depth and recognize social contexts. Kaja Krebs lives and works in Berlin.
