About Us
We’re a team of international contemporary art and curating graduate students living our best lives in Paris! Hailing from a variety of backgrounds, we have come together to chase dreams, create art, and soak up all the inspiration (and croissants) we can find.
Now we are looking for financial support to produce our graduation exhibition in Berlin!
- Exhibition: Unrealish
- Time: June 25 - June 28, 2025
- Location: Brunnenstraße 105-109, 13355 Berlin
Looking forward to connecting with you in this Unrealish world!
About Unrealish
Reality bends. It shifts, distorts, and fragments— never fixed, always in flux. Unrealish brings together three artists, Marta Djourina, Toni Mauersberg, and Cora Wöllenstein, whose practices explore spaces where imagination, history, or physical processes collide with reality, resulting in works that blur the boundaries between the real and unreal. Informed by ideas of reflection, healing, and transformation, this exhibition invites an engagement with the unstable, fluid nature of the world we imagine and the images we hold of ourselves within it.
Jean-Paul Sartre's notion of "unreality" provides us with a philosophical scaffolding of this terrain. He describes imagination as a form of “unreality,” a space where the mind conjures objects that exist yet remain untouchable. The artists in Unrealish move within this paradox, and through acts of reflection, distortion, and re-visioning, they produce images that feel at once familiar and unstable. Seeing extends from observation and into inhabiting the sense of flux and uncertainty.

Why Berlin?
Set against the backdrop of Berlin, a city already defined by transformation, reinvention, and new possibilities, Unrealish reflects its surroundings. Taking place in a building marked for eventual demolition, the exhibition mirrors the shifting realities that it explores. Meanwhile, Berlin’s reputation as an artistic haven faces its own precarity as recent budget cuts threaten the cultural sectors. These layers of impermanence remind us of the urgency of creativity in a world where even the foundations can feel unstable. However, Unrealish does not mourn uncertainty and instability; it embraces all of the creative possibilities that reality-in-flux can bring.
