Yedam Ann / 8mm draught / 8mm Luftzug
Publication and object
8mm draught / 8mm Luftzug is a publication that forms part of the artist’s archive, developed through her ongoing research and artistic practice. It is a collection of writing sketches that reflect her experience of diasporic placelessness and geopsychological disorientation. The publication was created in parallel with the making of her new installation work, A building with a revolving door, but only stairs. In Half Sister, she will read excerpts from the publication and present a small-format object.

Saša Tatić / I LOOK AND FEEL SEEN
Installation
Installed across the gallery window, this work captures a moment of self-awareness, at once intimate and collective. The phrase inscribed lingers between affirmation and longing, mirroring the gaze it receives and a surface that reflects as much as it reveals.
About the participants:
Yedam Ann is an artist based in Berlin. She challenges and deconstructs quintessential design and placeness. Her artistic research frequently examines urban landscapes in the context of technology and digital environments, often addressing essentialized identities and the museumification of cities. Her interventions into social dynamics are often translated into an installative and dramaturgical practice involving spatial installations, video, and performance.
She has presented solo exhibitions at Post Territory Ujeongguk in Seoul and the Wewerka Pavillon in Münster. Her works have been shown at KIT – Kunst im Tunnel in Düsseldorf, IMPAKT Festival in Utrecht, Ars Electronica in Linz, and Galerie Nord | Kunstverein Tiergarten in Berlin.
Sophia Tabatadze is an artist and curator. Born and raised in Tbilisi, Georgia, she lives since 2008 in Berlin. At the age of 20, she went to study in Amsterdam and obtained bachelor’s degree at the Rietveld Academy in 2002. At the age of 40, she completed a one-year course for curatorial training at CuratorLab, Konstfack, Stockholm, Sweden.
From 2022 she runs a studio and artist-run event space in Berlin called Halfsister.
Sophia has shown her work internationally, presented Georgia at the Venice Biennale in 2007 and participated in Istanbul Biennale in the same year. She also participated in Museum shows such as Wilhelm Hack Museum, Ludwigshafen, Germany, Tartu Museum, Estonia, Fine Arts Museum, Nantes, France; Boijmans van Beuningen Museum, Rotterdam, the Netherlands and Tbilisi History Museum, Georgia.
Saša Tatić, a Bosnia-born artist, makes transparent the roles she carries – as a daughter, sister, heiress, and member of the Balkan diaspora – to create resonance and affinities in relationships with home and belonging communities. Text in her works, as a mediator, often carries content that offers various possibilities for identification. Whether spoken through poetry or integrated into visual forms, her everyday life, experiential encounters, and accompanying emotional states thus become the subject of the narratives. Starting from personal experience but transcending the autobiographical, her practice calls for an open dialogue by pointing to the complexity of cultural differences arising from changes in the living environment.
She is one of the co-founders of the artistic association Fully Funded Residencies e.V, advocating for equality and inclusion. She is a member of the feminist and left-oriented organization CRVENA in Sarajevo. She lives and works in Berlin and visits Bosnia whenever she can.
