Installation views from Norman Maýn’s first solo exhibition, “Fieldnotes.” On view until July 12. Norman Maýn Fieldnotes June 14 – July 12, 2025 Mariannenstrasse 33, 10999 Berlin Norman Maýn was born and grew up in Berlin. He studied at the Universität der Künste Berlin, where he already attracted attention with his graduation project Ghosts, a complex installation about the unreal existence of mistreated and abused spanish hunting dogs. He actually works in Germany (Berlin/Lusatia) and Spain (mainly Andalusia) and connects nearly every medium such as photography, painting, video, text, fragments, objects and transfers them into memorable installations that form comprehensive work cycles. It also happens that works cite each other, are expanded upon, or acquire a new context through reconsideration. He moves between the real and the surreal, personal and collective themes, abstract and precise, narrative such as mystery and removes the boundaries of established artistic areas. His works ritually address an archaic primal pain, discrepancies and areas of tension in human existence and rage on earth in context of saturated and at the same time empty societies. The clear lack of comprehensive descriptions of the postmodern world is translated in Maýn’s visual language particularly through reduction and omission, but also a grasp of fragile and seemingly quickly diffusing moments. Non-colors and raw materials determine the overall visual appearance. The tortured creature and human caused sorrow became central themes.

The performance “Panacea: Sugarcoating the Bitter, Veiling the Harsh” by Angelika Puff took place at the vernissage of Norman Maýn’s solo exhibition “Fieldnotes” on June 13, 2025. Angelika Puff Panacea: Sugarcoating the Bitter, Veiling the Harsh, 2025 Performance 30’00” Angelika Puff was born in Silesia and currently lives and works in Amsterdam. They work with painting, performance, and site-specific art. Their practice explores themes of identity, rooted in place of origin, relationships with nature, ritual and queerness as a strategy of resistance against normative structures. They draw on symbols tied to rural experience, such as the motif of the beet, which becomes a vessel for trauma and memory. Their works often follow the logic of dreams, where the subconscious, fear and desire merge with the past, transforming it into a personal mythology.

Installation views and works of "Format Error occurred at offset" by Chen Zirui, on view in the current exhibition "Synthetic Realities: Authenticity in the Age of AI Imagery." What begins as a seemingly straightforward desktop documentary quickly spirals into something far more unsettling. Chen Zirui’s Format Error Occurred at Offset dissects how governments collect, control, and distort our images, exposing the fragile and ambiguous nature of identity within bureaucratic systems. In stark contrast, the work interrogates the ways AI image generation is used in the art and culture industries. Culture is not just defined by what it creates, but by what it destroys—and in the AI-driven future, it’s the human subject who disappears first. Beneath the shiny promises of progress, what’s already here is a more efficient, globalized exploitation of the self, and within the paradigm of capitalism, this is often performed under the guise of innovation.

Installation view of "Offeah" by icysaw, on view in the current exhibition "Synthetic Realities: Authenticity in the Age of AI Imagery." icysaw Offeah, 2025 Single-channel video, color, sound 00:02:11 There exists a subset of AI-generated images and videos that occupy the space between the uncanny valley and the grotesque, unsettling in ways that defy easy categorization. These works generate what might be called the promptum—a visceral, internal jolt that originates not in the mind but in the gut, a sharp disturbance that bypasses language. Offeah by icysaw pushes this sensation to its extreme, creating an immersive experience that feels like stumbling into a box-opening livestream on the deep web—raw, voyeuristic, and teetering on the edge of taboo. The work doesn’t ask for interpretation, offering its hands to the viewer, pulling them into a digital uncanny that feels both eerily familiar and profoundly wrong. Text by Clint Enns.

Installation views of "Witness" @mindwank, on view in the current exhibition "Synthetic Realities: Authenticity in the Age of AI Imagery." This project satirizes the commodification of trauma within the attention economy. In On Photography and Regarding the Pain of Others, Susan Sontag argues that repeated exposure to images of suffering can numb our capacity for genuine empathy. Drawing on contemporary social media practices and Jean Baudrillard’s concept of hyperreality, wherein simulations—staged or digitally constructed—supplant the “real,” this project intentionally blurs the line between authentic and artificial narratives in the age of AI. Between the superficial status posturing and the profoundly disturbing fictionalized events, something feels all too familiar, all too “real.” Now don’t forget to smash that like button and subscribe.

Installation view of "Sunday School" by @a1111ac011d0, on view in the current exhibition "Synthetic Realities: Authenticity in the Age of AI Imagery." Anna Condo Sunday School, 2024-2025 NFT on Ethereum Blockchain Unique 0.8 ETH on @superrare: https://superrare.com/artwork/eth/0x457CECB820a2bfCe02c8377D806d5878eE269d8E/83 Anna Condo Sunday School, 2024-2025 Dye Sublimation Print 106.7 x 60 cm Edition 3 + 2 AP Anna Condo’s Sunday School dismantles the fantasy of a self, replacing it with a figure assembled from digital rubble and a blue-velvet dress with a stiff white collar. The face isn’t hidden—it’s overwritten, remixed, refusing to offer the intimacy we’re conditioned to expect. Behind the figure, the schoolyard contains symbols of early formation: playground equipment, asphalt, and brick walls. These are the sites where norms are rehearsed, where rules are absorbed. But now they are empty, paused and digitally estranged—awaiting another version of childhood to emerge. Text by Clint Enns.
