In her second exhibition at carlier | gebauer, Berlin, Iman Issa is showing a collection of works revolving around photography in many of its facets.
Sometimes you come across (an image of) a statue, a monument, a building, an event, barely looking at it and hardly noticing it. Even when you do notice it, it feels inconsequential; a benign sign of a time gone by, regardless of how violent that time was, or is perceived to have been. But there are other times when you cross an image of the same statue, monument, or building realizing that looking at it has become unbearable—That it is clearly malicious and destructive to your being. You take account of it now as an active agent in a recurrent violence which, you also now clearly understand, has never ceased.
Opening: Friday, 26 April, 2024, 6 – 9 pm, on the occasion of Gallery Weekend Berlin.
