until 25.10. | #4819ARTatBerlin | Buchmann Galerie shows from 12. September 2025 the exhibition “Horizons” by the artist Bettina Pousttchi.
The exhibition brings together new photographic works on canvas from the eponymous series „Horizons”, as well as new polychrome sculptures made of ceramic and steel. The point of departure for all three groups of works is, in different ways, the urban experience of Berlin.
Coinciding with the exhibition at the gallery is the inauguration of the six-meter-high sculpture “Vertical Highways V02″ by Bettina Pousttchi in front of the Istanbul Modern as part of the museum collection.
With her new series „Horizons” Bettina Pousttchi continues her conceptual approach to an expanded notion of photography, bringing together photographic methods with painterly means. The „Horizons” series alludes to the artist’s highly acclaimed photo installation „Echo”, which covered the entire façade of the Temporäre Kunsthalle Berlin with 970 photographic prints on paper for six months in 2009/2010. The artist photographed sections of these paper prints showing the reflective window surfaces of the Palast. Captured in these motifs are details from the original photographic print now bearing the marks of natural weathering over a period of six months.
The works thus form a layered depiction of past time and the physical traces it leaves in our environment. They function both as trace of the real and as containers of temporality and memory. The Horizons underscore the artist’s interest in questions of photography’s materiality and indexicality today and are also emblematic of ongoing processes of urban change in Berlin.
