GROUP EXHIBITION

Vladimir Antaki’s The Guardians series pays homage to the anonymous custodians of urban spaces, revealing silent protectors of cultural and social identity. Sonja Braas’ You Are Here explores the illusion of orientation and presence, offering constructed landscapes that question the authenticity of experience. Franck Christen’s enigmatic photographs capture moments of quiet observation— unsettling encounters with the uncanny. Rania Matar’s She series celebrates the individuality and inner strength of young women navigating the threshold of adulthood, while Elger Esser’s serene image of Saida speaks to memory and the passage of time, blurring the boundaries between documentary and dreamscape. On a guided boat tour of Berlin, Gilbert Hage quietly resisted the scripted tourist gaze—Screening Berlin, offers a subtle critique of mediated experience through images that feel both accidental and intentional. Yvonne Lee Schultz’s Flags confront national symbolism through acts of deconstruction and reassembly, while Stephen Waddell’s street photographs elevate everyday urban life into moments of subtle theatre. Les Indisciplinés (by Anthony Saroufim) seeks to empower the human body in all its glory, capturing spontaneous moments that embrace the free-spirited and untamed souls.

Each artist offers a unique portal into liminal spaces: between the real and the constructed, the intimate and the public, the past and the present. From poetic documentary to staged realities, the works collectively echo a shared desire to hop between states of mind and layers of meaning—challenging our habits of seeing and inviting us to inhabit multiple realities and embrace the ambiguity in between.
