Berlin art lovers, mark your calendars! An exciting new photobook and exhibition, La Isla, by Argentinian photographer Matu Buiatti, is set to make its much-anticipated debut at Galerie Newman on May 11, 2026.

Over an 18-month journey, Buiatti has transcended traditional image-making. La Isla is not just about visual representation; it is a beautifully crafted dialogue about human connection. Photographs serve as the culmination of shared experiences, revealing that intimacy emerges naturally when we allow ourselves to develop trust and engage in conversation. Here, the body becomes a consequence of connection rather than a subject for depiction.
What began as a personal project during a moment of vulnerability has grown into a heartfelt endeavour aimed at reconnecting with others. This project stands as both a stunning photobook and an ongoing body of research focused on the essence of human presence.
Join the artist at Galerie Newman, located at Linienstraße 118, 10115 Berlin, where Buiatti will present an artist talk alongside a selection of photographs from the book. This event marks the project’s first appearance in Germany, following a warm reception in Barcelona.
In addition to the breathtaking images, the publication includes insightful contributions: a curatorial text by Argentine artist Carlos Herrera and a back cover text by the acclaimed Slava Mogutin.
Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with art that speaks to the very core of what it means to connect. Come, be a part of this intimate exploration, and witness how the lens of Matu Buiatti reshapes our understanding of presence and connection.
🗓 Opening: May 11, 2026
🕖 Time: 7:00 PM
Be sure to experience La Isla—your connection to art and the human experience awaits!
