#SaveTheDate Berlin – “ANXIETY” explores the relationship between expeditious technological advancements, the insatiable hunger for consumerism and the necessity to remain grounded in the earth’s natural environment. Humans are exposed to the consumption of endless streams of data, facing challenges in seeking balance within the individual, in a society that is evolving into the future, faster than one is able to conceptualize.

From EPHEMERAL, a performance piece by Marie Zechiel, that investigates the human longing for inner harmony, to Sebastian Pielles’ neon chaotic collages that combine street art techniques with consumerist branding, this group exhibition features an array of emerging Berlin-based talents that explore the concept of “ANXIETY” through various mediums and artistic forms. Lenfants’ sculptures expose the artist’s free-spirited mentality through symbolisms creating his own utopia, while Niklas Jeroch shapes new worlds using elements from technology, futurism, materialism, and sci-fi. Camille Schaeffer enchants you into a dream-like state with her luminescent plexiglass creations and finally, Franziska Katharina Röhrs’ works bring you back into balance with her exploration of feeling, nature, movement and sexuality.

The works on display include paintings, collages, and sculptures derived from PLA, silicone, acrylic, mirror, foil and glass.

ARTISTS //

Camille Schaeffer (Cille Sch): French artist based in Berlin. Cille Sch is a versatile and interdisciplinary artist who finds joy in exploring diverse mediums, including reflective materials. Through her translucent creations, she encourages the audience to transcend conventional boundaries and venture into a realm of boundless imagination. The play of reflective foil and materials opens up a world of infinite visual possibilities, offering glimpses of not only oneself but also others, all within the encompassing environment.

Franziska Katharina Röhrs: Self-taught abstract artist and yoga teacher from Hamburg based in Berlin. Her art is all about energy, feeling and intuition. Topics such as nature, the circle of day and night, the circle of life, connections and sexuality play a very important role in her art as an influential force. Using the body to paint and express energy, Franziska has been able to blend the practice of yoga with art creatively.

L’enfant: Inspired by his surroundings, this once London-based, now Berlin-based, contemporary artist explores his own ideas of ‘utopia’ through his artistic practice, L’enfant. His alias is a direct representation of his visual style, childlike; a perfect juxtaposition to his subject matter that can sometimes verge on the eerie. His work, guided by emotion whether dark and creepy or happy and light, is portrayed through a variety of mediums including painting and sculpture. L’enfant is his sinful and self-liberated release.

Marie Zechiel: Born and raised in Germany, Marie Zechiel holds a degree in contemporary dance from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music & Dance in London and has danced professionally in numerous companies and on various stages across Europe and abroad. She is a physical narrator, whose main form of expression is movement, which is seamlessly translated into stage, film, photo and performance work. Her choreographic craft is formulated through authentic movement, character development and the interplay of curated bodies and formations. As a movement director, Marie Zechiel researches, develops and instructs sophisticated movement and body languages for a project aiming to create a suitable and unique physical narrative that raises production quality and authenticity.

Niklas Jeroch: Berlin-based German artist, Niklas Jeroch, uses painting, sculpture as well as CGI and mixes thematic areas such as technology, the future, materiality, sci-fi, anime and colour theory. The result is a world shaped by aesthetics and its own logic, which acts like a mirror of his inner perception of our existence. In his works, he prefers intense colours, modern materials and an interplay between computer-based and handmade.

His “organic angel vases” are duo-chrome 3D-printed vases made from PLA (PLA is classified as a 100% bio-sourced plastic: it’s made of renewable resources such as corn or sugarcane. Lactic acid, obtained by fermenting sugar or starch, is then transformed into a monomer called lactide). They are produced with less than 1% production waste.

Sebastian Pielles: Sebastian Pielles is an international (fashion) photographer, and video artist and has also been working as a graffiti artist for some time. Born in 1980, he finds inspiration where he hangs out: on the streets and in the clubs of Berlin and Paris. Layers, labels, tags. A colourful mix without hierarchy. An equal but snotty juxtaposition of words and images with symbolic power. His art jumps out at us. He enhances this effect with neon colours in black light and 3D glasses.
