until 29.03 | #4597ARTatBerlin | Laura Mars Gallery shows from the 22nd. February 2025 (Opening: 21.02.) the exhibition The walls shake with laughter by the artist Stefanie Seufert.
The starting point for Stefanie Seufert’s exhibition “The walls shake with laughter” is a current series of text images. Based on the work of the writer Anna Kavan (1901-1961), they are created in a process of multiple exposures and enlargements: A detached passage of text becomes a freely circulating artefact and leads to an imagined image. In the opposite direction, i.e. from image to word, the path leads via representational photographs, which accompany the text works in precise combinatorics, and then on to camera-less photographic images and sculptures, in order to (perhaps) free perception from conceptual thinking for a brief moment.
At the interface between photography, painting, sculpture and performance, Seufert works predominantly with analogue means. She utilises the material in its function and dysfunction, manipulating it in order to constantly test the photographic in the liminal space between subject and object. A system of superimposition and ambiguity is created in serial and repetitive processes. In the exhibition, this comes into contact with a poetic voice that radically refutes the logic and language of its time and the wars with subjectivity.
