Exhibition Matias Bechtold – Laura Mars Gallery

until 20.09. | #4759ARTatBerlin | Laura Mars Gallery shows from Friday, 23 August 2025 (Opening: 22.08.) the exhibition “Berufsverkehr (Rush Hour)” by the artist Matias Bechtold.

Matias Bechtold’s distinctive gaze on our world is essentially defined by shifts in scale. The urban topographies staged in his models offer two perspectives: one can perceive them as sculptural bodies, soaring above urban canyons at a dizzying height, only to imagine oneself a moment later inhabiting the miniature structures.

For his most recent work Berufsverkehr (Rush Hour), he chose the world-famous archaeological site Machu Picchu as his point of departure, overloading it down to the last millimetre with the teeming traffic of a hyper-dense megacity. The work reveals unfamiliar perspectives on urban complexity and the relationship between architecture, space, and human activity.

Opening: Friday, 22 August 2025, 7:00 pm

Exhibition dates: Friday, 23 August – Saturday, 20 September 2025
