Soup
Sascha Romanenko | Yoon Park | Melisser Dalldorf | Salome Schilcher
Katie Heaton | Eva Fomitski | Annmagrit Möller / Anni Knusper
performance, installation
The performance is an attempt at an on-spot homemaking workshop to explore the feeling of home – how it reinvents itself and how it thrives under the pressure of constant displacement, as in the megalopolis of Berlin. Artists propose a short series of subsequent solo-actions, through the shared medium of collective cooking: as a source of physical memory, soup becomes a symbol of warmth, something each artist carries from ancestors, thinking about the personal meaning of belonging.

Frustschein
Ding Dong
interactive performance
The artist confronts visitors with the attempt to obtain a driver’s license, a process doomed to fail from the very beginning. The work explores frustration, procrastination, and the feeling of investing time without making progress. The driver’s license becomes a symbol of a system that promises movement but produces stagnation. Time passes without any result.
Waiting. Repeating. Postponing.
Haube
Alvar Bohrmann
sound installation
An interactive sound installation of a suspended hood-like object, inviting visitors to step underneath and partially cover their head or upper body to listen to the sound. The soundscape is created from recordings of people showering while singing, whistling, or humming songs they personally
connect to moments of change.
OCMB – Collective Movement Painting
Julis Goerlich
performance, installation
OCMB is a participatory movement where diverse participants co-create a large-scale painting together, blending their individual marks into one unified artwork. The process emphasizes collective energy and shared creativity rather than individual authorship. This fosters community bonds through physical movement and artistic collaboration in public spaces.
Soft boy
Sandra Bak
sound installation
“Soft Boy” is an auditory research project in which lullabies sung by men explore vulnerability through narratives traditionally associated with women. The work examines post-war models of masculinity rooted in harshness and emotional distance, offering softness, care, and emotional openness as an alternative. The lullaby becomes a source of restoring cultural roles and the idea of a more sensitive language of masculinity.

On Pigeons and More-than-Human Entanglements.
Il primo dolore della Madonna
Madriana Dolorosa | Mariano Sukopp
live-sculpture, installation
The first of seven pains that the Virgin Mary endures throughout her life is a prophecy by St. Simeon that she receives in a temple when her son, Jesus Christ, is still a child.
He reveals her lifelong suffering for her son to her here. This work illustrates the cultural significance of grief and female devotional figures across Mediterranean cultures.
untitled
Elena Peresvetova
installation
Tissues scattered across the floor, some bound into knots, embody loss, pain, and grief – a lingering weep that accumulates over time. Artist moistens these tissues with water at intervals to make apparent a connection to the body, bodily fluids, and body heat. This symbolic action is meant to capture a form of gesture transferred into the textile material – movements of people in mourning.
Ratking
Zeynep Sami
performance, 10 min
Ratking – on fear and power.
invisible
Lolita Yakunina
performance
In this performance, artist aims to make the invisible visible: care work in the form of cleaning. It reflects on labor performed mostly by migrants and women, whose presence remains unseen while the results of their work are taken for granted. The performance invites the viewer to look at care not as background activity, but as embodied, essential labor.
Threshold
Eva Fomitski
kinetic installation
“Threshold” articulates an understanding of home as inseparable from Ukraine – a place where return does not necessarily imply safety or calm. An installation engages with bodily states of alertness and anticipation associated with living in proximity to violence. The work references folkloric systems of warning in which a bird striking a window is understood as a premonition of threat.
Foil Bodies
Maria Dewert | Natalia Higuita | soundscape created with Kaya Schwarz
performance, choreography
“Foil Bodies” is a hybrid performance blending dance, soundscape, and transformation. Two performers embody dream and nightmare as they move through a surreal landscape shaped by fog and light. Wrapped in gold and silver emergency blankets, their bodies shift through reflection, concealment, and distortion, suspended in a fragile state between protection and exposure.

Linden Derichs | Eva Ingver | knives
installation, video
This project manifests as a collaborative website structured around opacity, play,
and imperfect interaction, drawing on logics of gamification, tokenisation, and quantification. Cultural markers from South Asian and South American contexts circulate without explanation, intersecting with experiences of migration, misrecognition, and digital abstraction. Installed as a bedroom with a bed and laptop, the work frames the online encounter as a private, bodily experience shaped by flawed systems of mediation and absence.
Analog Stories
Filipe Pirl
paste ups
“Stories” don’t appear on a phone’s screen; they happen in real life.
Fleeting moments from the artist’s immediate surroundings and the people within
them are physically shared on walls, paths, and other surfaces throughout Uferstudios. The constellation becomes social, where personal shared moments, without grand narratives, in-between states – unfold like social media stories. This stands in contrast to a gallery for images, an event listing, or a site for product promotion.
