Mapping the Edges

“Mapping the Edges” explores the interplay between inside and outside in urban space. In my black-and-white acrylic works, created in a collage-like style, fragments of the city—its architecture, graffiti, animals, and visual traces of everyday life—merge into multilayered pictorial spaces.

The works do not understand the city as a clear, ordered structure, but rather as a network of overlaps, permeabilities, and contradictions. Berlin, as the place of my daily experience, serves as the starting point: a space in which personal perception, cultural inscriptions, and visual impulses continuously intertwine.

In the spirit of the festival theme OUT/SIDE/IN, I engage with the fluid boundaries of urban identity. In my images, the boundary does not appear as a dividing line, but as a zone of movement—a liminal space in which inside and outside permeate one another. The fragmentary structure of the works makes this entanglement visible: places become moods, external impressions turn into inner layers, and urban surfaces transform into psychological landscapes.

The project invites visitors to view the city from a different perspective and to perceive the subtle transitions in which perception, belonging, and experience are constantly renegotiated.
