In his wall reliefs and sculptures, Ömer Faruk Kaplan works with lines, planes and surfaces to create spaces, to examine, break and delimit them, but also to connect them. He plays with harmony and disharmony, attraction and rejection, and reflects on territories. His works negotiate physical, personal and imaginary boundaries and how these guide us in space and shape our actions.

In her sculptures, installations, paintings and videos, Maxine Weiss pursues a material-based approach in which all components are in a reciprocal and non-hierarchical relationship to one another. The focus is on questioning the boundaries of artificiality, naturalness and physicality. In doing so, she pursues ideas of post-humanism and new materialism, with which she intends to dissolve the dualistic distinction between nature and culture through material and media connections.

Lea Grebe’s works deal with the observation of nature at the interface to science and technology. In her works, the class of insects is exemplary for the creatures that surround us and the ecosystems they animate. The techniques of archiving and presentation in museums are reflected upon – fascinated by the impossible attainability of a true order of things. The focus on and over-stylisation of individual, seemingly insignificant creatures is also about the search for a new ecological, empathetic way of thinking. The aim is to imagine a world view that is not humanistically centred. The aim is to promote a perception that is not only focussed on oneself, but also on the other, the counterpart and the alien.

For her work, Eunji Seo draws countless fine pencil lines on canvases according to strict rules. The repetition of the lines creates a specific pattern. When viewed up close, the individual lines are recognisable, while from further away a three-dimensional visual experience is created. The canvases are deformed and thus once again create changes in the image.
