ORNELLA FIERES, ARTIST
Ornella Fieres’ work explores the boundaries and transitions between the digital and analog space. To investigate these areas she develops special photography, video and sound techniques that forcefully merge, not only analog and digital media, but also light, space and time. The analog and the digital possess with their nostalgia-creating and fugacity-evoking qualities a romanticistic, poetic connotation that she captures in her work. Ornella Fieres’ series have been exhibited for example at the Photokina Cologne, the Kunstverein Speyer or the Preview Berlin Art Fair. In Berlin she is represented by Sexauer Gallery.

ZOHAR FRAIMAN, ARTIST
The theme of possession constitutes a central topic in the work of Israeli artist Zohar Fraiman. Her paintings have an indescribable peculiarity generated by her displacements of forbidden fantasies. As is often seen in fairy tales, what is most important are not the impossible occurrences we see on the surface but rather a moral behind an (untold) story. Fraiman studied at the UdK, Berlin. She has recently showed at the Museion Atelier House Bozen (2016, Italy), Kunsthalle Luneburg (2017, Germany) and Schloss Achberg (2017, Germany).
