Finissage “Venice BeReal”

23. March 16:00 – 19:00 Uhr

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

Berlin-based artist Stefanie Bürkle has been photographing Venice on her travels for 25 years. In 2022-2025, she realised ‘Imaginations of Venice’, an artistic research project as part of the Collaborative Research Centre 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 diverse 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 centre 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 centre of the exhibition space.
