(DE in den Kommentaren)

ENCOUNTERS — On Bodies, Borders, Resistance is the first major retrospective in Germany of works by the Berlin-based artist Tanja Ostojić. As a pioneer of intersectional feminist and postmigrant artistic practice, she has been exploring issues such as migration, body politics, gender politics, and institutional mechanisms of power and exclusion since the 1990s. Her work alternates between performance art, video, installation, and conceptual art, as well as photography, drawing, and textile art, often created in close collaboration with others. In doing so, Ostojić combines personal experience with socio-political research, and transforms individual perspectives into collective spaces of experience and action.

The exhibition brings together some of the pivotal works from the past 25 years alongside several new art projects.

This exhibition is presented in collaboration with Kunstraum Kreuzberg/ Bethanien and alpha nova & galerie futura. It is curated by Katharina Koch and

ENCOUNTERS is the first major retrospective in Germany of works by the Berlin-based artist Tanja Ostojić. As a pioneer of intersectional feminist and post-migrant artistic practice, she has been exploring issues such as migration, body politics, gender relations, and institutional mechanisms of power and exclusion since the 1990s. Her work alternates between performance art, video, installation, and conceptual art as well as photography, drawing, and textile art, often created in close collaboration with others. Thereby, Ostojić combines personal experience with socio-political research and transforms individual perspectives into collective spaces of experience and action.

The exhibition brings together pivotal works from the past 25 years as well as several new art projects. At its heart are three interconnected themes: experiences of migration and border regimes, gender dynamics, and power structures in the field of art and culture. The works show how closely these fields are interwoven with one another and how questions of gender, heritage, mobility, body politics, and institutional power are mutually dependent. In light of current debates around migration and gender politics, and amid the growing political backlash against feminist and emancipatory gains, Ostojić’s works remain highly relevant today.

After Memory

✨

(DE in den Kommentaren)

The project After Memory emerged from a discussion at the 2nd Summit on New Media Art Archiving in Barcelona in 2022, which explored how digital technologies are reshaping practices of remembering and forgetting. In the years that followed, this exchange continued through seminars, workshops, and public events, culminating in the international symposium After Memory: Recalling and Foretelling Across Time, Space, and Networks at ZKM | Centre for Arts and Media Karlsruhe and the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design in 2024. Artists, scholars, curators, archivists, and activists came together to discuss the spatial, temporal, and social dimensions of digital memory, developing new perspectives on archival infrastructures and collective forms of remembrance. The research materials and references gathered here have accompanied and informed the project over the past four years and invite to reflect together on the future of remembering and forgetting.

Rabih Mroué

Old House, 2006

✨

(DE in den Kommentaren)

The short video shows the demolition of a residential building in the aftermath of the Lebanese Civil War. The footage plays forwards and backwards in a seemingly endless loop of ruin and resurrection. Contrary to the notion of linear progress, Mroué demonstrates that the irreversibility of collapse and the possibility of renewal are inextricably intertwined. As an ever-changing present continually emerges from the ruins of the past, remembering becomes just as essential for forging a future as forgetting.

Water is a Time Machine, 2023

✨

(DE in den Kommentaren)

In the multilayered project Water is a Time Machine, Motta interweaves the many stories of her family’s past, whether real or imagined. Drawing on her mother’s personal documents, the artist recounts her family’s life in Rio de Janeiro at the beginning of the 20th century, a period of political upheaval following the abolition of slavery. Taking the form of a novel, a video, and a performance, the project traces the fault lines between historical records and intimate memories, weaving them together in a non-linear narrative that extends into the present. Excerpts from her mother’s diary, discovered only after her death, are incorporated into a speculative narrative in which a voice - previously unknown to the family - is echoed thirty years later in the voice of her daughter, acquiring new meanings in the present.

Eduardo Kac

Adsum, 2019

✨

(DE in den Kommentaren)

„Adsum is on the Moon!“ Eduardo Kac wrote to me on 2 March, 2025. His message included a photograph of the Blue Ghost lunar lander, part of a NASA-funded mission by Firefly Aerospace, resting on the lunar surface with Earth rising in the background. The work marks the culmination of a five-phase project initiated in 2019 with the conception of a small glass cube engraved with four laser-etched symbols visible from different angles: an hourglass and the infinity sign, representing time on human and cosmic scales, and two circles representing Earth and the Moon. The title Adsum means „I am present“ in Latin. Kac describes his space artworks as an „anticipatory space archaeology“. Addressing observers in the future, this work anticipates its own discovery - should it ever be found.

Dreaming Dashes / Transatlantic Crossroads, 2024 (Slide 1-2)
Ethnography of Ethnographers, 2024 (Slide 3)

✨

(DE in den Kommentaren)

The objects represented in Dreaming Dashes / Transatlantic Crossroads originate from Brazil and West Africa and are currently housed in ethnographic collections in Germany. By imprinting them onto embroidered cotton fabrics using the batik technique, Hupe shifts these objects from the logic of collection to one of circulation, seeking to return them to local West African textile economies where they can be reappropriated and reused - a process she describes as „a poetics of restitution.“ Ethnography of Ethnographers extends this inquiry: the embroidered portraits are based on drawings of the German ethnographers Karl von den Steinen, Paul Ehrenreich, Max Schmidt, Theodor Koch-Grünberg, and Fritz Krause, each made by the Indigenous peoples who received them in their territories - the Bororo, Bakairi, Kobéua, and Karajá.
