Look at Me (2025)

 

Look at Me explores the artistic struggle for visibility and recognition in an age of digital overstimulation. The boundary between what is perceived and what is real becomes increasingly blurred. Those who receive attention are seen and can participate in reality – while those who remain unnoticed risk becoming invisible.

About the curator

 

Maria Buzhor is a dramaturg and performer. As a member of the music theatre collective Hauen und Stechen, she develops cross-genre performances that reinterpret the classical opera repertoire from a political and contemporary perspective. Together with director Julia Lwowski, she founded the Trisolde ensemble, which is dedicated to radically inclusive music theatre. She also works as a librettist, translator and curator, developing formats at the intersection of opera, performance and social participation.

 

About the Guests

 

Niklas Apfel is an interdisciplinary artist based in Berlin (DE) who specialises in graphic design and installation. His work straddles the boundary between applied graphic design and fine art, with the two fields often blending into one another. His artistic approach is characterised by the abstracted and transformed representation of figures, scenes and typography. Niklas Apfel is now increasingly exploring three-dimensional works, bringing together different disciplines in an experimental manner.

 

collectif blitzbereit is a collective for body-based performances and choreographic interventions in, around, and under Berlin (DE). Their work combines shamelessness with sensitivity, humor with melancholy, and poetic with iconic imagery. Bodies are staged, objectified, and decorated – while audiences are invited into this perspective. Presentations have taken place at venues such as Berlinische Galerie (Berlin, DE), Kunsthal Gent (Ghent, BE), and Haus der Kulturen der Welt (Berlin, DE).
