Künstlerbuch-Präsentation: Dino domesticus
Im Rahmen der Gruppenausstellung Schöneberg Voices laden The Ballery und Eva Brunner zur Präsentation ihres Buchprojekts Dino domesticus ein.
Dino domesticus bewegt sich zwischen Fotografie, Inszenierung und Erzählung. Im Zentrum stehen Zwischenzustände – Momente, in denen Wahrnehmung, Körper und Wirklichkeit sich zu verschieben beginnen. Der Dinosaurier wird dabei zu einer Figur der Verwandlung, Erinnerung, Andersartigkeit und des Dazwischen.
Das Künstlerbuch vereint fotografische Arbeiten mit Kurzgeschichten von Bernhard Kempen und Eva Brunner. Bild und Text treten dabei in einen offenen Dialog und eröffnen unterschiedliche Zugänge zu den im Buch entfalteten Bildwelten.
Bernhard Kempen wird an diesem Abend ebenfalls anwesend sein. Gemeinsam sprechen die beiden über das Buch, ihr gemeinsames Schaffen und das Zusammenspiel von Bild und Text.
Ort: The Ballery, Nollendorfstr. 11-12, Berlin
Datum: 26. Juni 2026
Finissage: ab 18 Uhr

PH21 Gallery Barcelona
A curated international group exhibition at PH21 Gallery in Barcelona
March 7 – 31, 2026
From my series „Perchance to Dream“: Taking a line from Hamlet’s “To be, or not to be” as its point of departure, my photographic work moves between fantasy and reality, between authenticity and staging. Windows, models and projections become passageways where inner images and external landscapes overlap. As in a waking dream, scales, times and realities begin to tilt and dissolve. An imagined, science-fiction–inflected visual world encounters the mountain relief of my Swiss origins – not as an opposition, but as an equally constructed form of reality.

MONIKA BARTH BENEATH THE SURFACE
soulscapes: landscapes of the soul:
Monika Barth’s photographs of „found stills“ are an attempt to transcend the boundaries of reality. They are an invitation to engage with the obvious and to perceive what is hidden behind reflective surfaces. Sky, earth, clouds, water, stones and plants form a cosmos of elements in the smallest of spaces, reflecting deeply personal feelings and desires.
Monika Barth has worked for decades as an actress for theatre and television and as a dubbing artist and radio play narrator. After studying medicine, she worked for a time as a doctor in a specialist practice. After travelling to Cuba, she devoted herself increasingly to photography and published photo books such as ‘Mona L.’ (2018) and ‘La Lunga Strada’ with Kehrer Verlag (2020).
EVA BRUNNER PERCHANCE TO DREAM
In “perchance to dream”, Swiss photographer and author Eva Brunner takes us into a world between fantasy and reality, between authenticity and staging. As if in a daydream, we embark on a journey with constantly changing scenery in urban spaces and natural worlds, always at the interface between the private and the public. Permanently present in the flow of images, her muse, the science fiction author Bernhard Kempen, takes on different roles, as a partner and in his trans identity as Barbara. Together they create a visual narrative that breaks through traditional boundaries.
Eva Brunner was a student in Prof Arno Fischer’s last masterclass at the Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie Berlin. This was followed by seminars with Todd Weinstein, Anders Petersen, Sven Marquardt and Wolfgang Zurborn. Eva’s work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Germany and abroad. Her first photo book ‘No Escape from Paradise’ (Edition Babev) was published at the end of 2020.
2026 Eva Brunner, Perchance To Dream, Edition Babev Berlin, Germany
The entire series comprises sixty photographs, which will be published later in 2026 by Edition Babev, in two overlapping books in one, made of diptychs and triptychs. The book is conceived in a photobook workshop and designed by Tomasz Laczny.
