Venice BeReal

28. February – 23. March

What images has Venice spread around the world for centuries, what ideas and expectations has it triggered and how do these images and expectations characterize the city of Venice today?

Berlin-based artist Stefanie Bürkle has been photographing Venice on her travels for 25 years. In 2022-2025, she realized ‘Imaginations of Venice’, an artistic research project as part of the Collaborative Research Center Re-Figuration of Spaces at the TU Berlin.

The artist sees her own image production as part of the global circulation of images, a loop in which Venice is fixed, reproduced, reduced and multiplied as a projection foil for various spatial imaginations. With Venice BeReal, she is now presenting the results of the project for the first time. Her Venice Atlas, an artistic archive of images of Venice, is at the center of the exhibition.

In addition to analogue and digital photographs, video excerpts from project interviews provide insights into Venice’s realities. A central video work transcends the artistic archive from Stefanie Bürkle’s studio into the center of the exhibition space.

Venue: Project space Meinblau, Pfefferberg,
