until 08.11. | #4810ARTatBerlin | Galerie Thomas Schulte (Potsdamer Straße) shows from Friday, 12. September 2025 (Vernissage: 11.09.) the exhibition “Sleepwalkers” by the artist Julian Irlinger.
For his third solo exhibition at Galerie Thomas Schulte, Julian Irlinger is showing drawings, objects, and a video work—titled The Curtain of Time and commissioned by Portikus, Frankfurt/Main—collectively exploring the history and technique of hand-drawn cel animation and reflecting on the mediation of historical narratives. In his artistic practice, Irlinger approaches past events in sight of future conflicts. Through the excavation and recontextualization of historical fragments, his practice questions the mechanisms of memory and the transmission of history. Drawing on archives and historical aesthetics, his body of work—spanning drawing, film, photography, and sculpture—challenges dominant historical narratives and their cultural representations, as well as the ideological currents that shape them.

Exhibition period: Friday, 12. September until Saturday, 08. November 2025
