Passagiere der Nacht

Eigen + Art is pleased to present the exhibition Passagiere der Nacht by Ulrike Theusner, as part of Berlin Art Week and Gallery Night at our Berlin gallery. "It felt kind of warm, eternal. There shall be what we were for others. Smatterings, fragments of us that perhaps they thought they glimpsed. There shall be dreams of us that they nurtured. And we were never the same. Each time, we were magnificent strangers, passengers of the night that they invented, like fragile shadows in old, long-forgotten bedroom mirrors." From The Passengers of the Night, a film by Mikhaël Hers (France, 2022) "This indefinable, almost indescribable quality, the tentative longing for vitality and the inescapably transient nature of a being in constant transition also resonates in the new works by the artist as does the question of what it actually means to be human – someone who feels, dreams, and needs relationships with others in order to exist. Someone with illusions and desires, who experiences infatuation, pain, and pleasure, and does so in a world that is increasingly spiraling out of control, highly technological, in which the irritating feeling of increasing powerlessness in the face of all impending catastrophes keeps on spreading..." —Ulrike Theusner
