Berta Fischer

The sculptures made out of acrylic glass continue the artist’s sustained engagement with the rich possibilities of this industrial material. Each of these sculptures emerged from a tiered process involving CAD drawings, computer-controlled laser cutting and the actual modelling by hand. Fischer thus highlights the material’s properties, even though her striking forms may make one forget this material dimension at first sight. Resulting from a patient process of bending and folding perspex plates, her sculptures seem like images of frozen movements, both animated and still, fragile and unyielding.

Valentin Cheli

I used to wander through the city looking for a certain color to match another one. In winter, i sometimes walked kilometers without finding a car, a surface or a plant that responded to my ideas. As i got more and more obsessed by colors and by certain combinations of textures, people and places, i started to interfere with them to create the pictures i had in mind. This was when Berlin became my home, after five years of living here, as now i would never have to leave again.

Valentin is an Art Director and Photographer from Zürich, Switzerland. He lives and works in Berlin where he build up a boutique design studio called the kids and from where he realizes his photographic projects. His first photographic book was launched in March 2021, and is called « Sommer in Berlin“. It reflects his journey through the colorless Berlin winters.
