until 19.02. | #4916ARTatBerlin | Galerie Dittmar shows from Saturday, 17 January 2026 the exhibition “Erden” by the artist Sophia Berg.
With Erden, Galerie Dittmar presents a solo exhibition by Sophia Berg, whose practice is firmly rooted in drawing. For Berg, drawing is not merely a representational tool but a process that actively shapes perception and the act of seeing.
Her works are based on the direct engagement with sand and earth, combined with paper, graphite, stone dust and mineral pigments. A defining aspect of her approach is the deliberate distance between subject and execution: material and depiction come into contact without merging. Conceptually, Berg explores landscapes and geological processes, often in relation to human intervention such as resource extraction, gardening or nomadic land use, partly in collaboration with scientific institutions.
The exhibition brings together two groups of works. Drawings on paper based on sand and stone from the southern Negev form cartographic compositions that emphasise fragmentation and movement. They are complemented by wooden panels using the sgraffito technique to reveal soil structures, opening up a depth dimension in which landscape and human history intersect.
Opening: Saturday, 17 January 2026, 12:00–4:00 pm
Exhibition dates: Saturday, 17 January until Thursday, 19 February 2026
