Hamburg Art Week Timetable, come by say hi 🪷

28/08/2026

Opening 19:00

03/09/ - 20/09/2026

We all measure the present, though we anticipate it through the past, a mix of temporalities that accompanies us in the constant movement of endings and beginnings.

This is not an archival or memory show, nor is it a futuristic, dystopian promise. In a year marked by conflict, it turns instead to the ordinary: the routine, the celebration of moments passing, and the question of what happens if we keep going like this.

eat sleep defeat repeat (2024)
Clown performance and room installation.

Video documentation: Camera by Jona Dohr

“I used to have so much to say. But I ran out of words. I ran out of energy. I ran out of hope. I ran out of illusion. There is nothing left except running. A clown (Giovanni Fusetti) once said ‚To the delusional quest for a mechanical artificial intelligence I will respond with the daily practice of embodied stupidity‘. That’s all I have to offer to you: my not-knowing, my daily shortcomings, my helplessness. I hope you appreciate my effort.“

The Clown

eat sleep defeat repeat is an attempt to cope. We watch a clown going along their daily business: waking up, trying to stay hydrated, to calm down, to do anything, really anything. The world morbidly goes on. The clown is the expert in failure and yet fails to see his own failings. Focusing on what’s wrong with them, they become distracted from the seriousness of the situation. What is stopping them in gathering their friends, their whistles, and taking to the streets?“

Talia’s work engages with the Jewish amulet as a charged cultural object, situated between belief, materiality, and identity.
Historically, the amulet has functioned for generations as a means of spiritual protection and continues to exist beyond the religious sphere as a psychological symbol of security in the face of anxiety and uncertainty. In recent decades, it has undergone a transformation, from a mystical object into a secular element of identity and consumption.

Through familiar symbols such as hamsas, blue eyes, red strings, and the Star of David, Talia explores the tension between personal use and commodification, between tradition and mass production, and between the desire for protection and questions of contemporary Jewish belonging and identity. Her process of making becomes an inward journey, probing belief, fear, and the cultural inheritances she carries: sometimes consciously, sometimes unconsciously.

Title: :(extruding feelings:)
Medium & Size: Aluminium, glass bead blasted / 20x10x4 cm

It could be the greatest luck of an industrial component to escape the linearity was made to follow. To bend, to curve inwardly, to morph between shapes, toward a form considered impossible within the logic of its own production.

Only the poles are visible: happy and sad. Between them, a hidden gradient: a quiet transition from one extreme to the other, like all feelings, a spectrum.

Linus Berg & Tornike Gognadze

Lucky Box (2022)

Ceramics, steel, toy machine claw, coin validator size variable

In their collaborative work Tornike Gognadze and Linus Berg discuss two different understandings of the same object, the claw crane. For Gognadze these Lucky Boxes connect strongly to childhood memories and personal experiences. Linus Berg on the other hand is interested in how the objects and machines we interact with are carriers of ideologies and can shape our most intimate memories. For both, the Lucky Box, makes promises to its players, sets expectations and stages luck as something consumable like fruit in a supermarket. Similarly, the four leaf clover is a symbol and signifier for luck understood by many people while at the same time through its numerous commercial depictions in logos and brands represents a clear erosion of what it signifies.

There is a flaw in the promises of the lucky box easily felt by anyone who has once tried their luck with them. A mutual distrust poisons the relationship of person and machine. We distrust the purposefully weak and manipulated arm that we are told we are in control of and the machine distrusts us too, not letting us play before it has examined whether the coin we gave it in exchange is real. The promise to fulfill our desire remains confined to a very limited freedom of action, mostly the one of consumption.
